What Is Bone Grafting?
At Advanced Dental Care of Norton, bone grafting helps rebuild areas of the jaw that have lost density or volume, creating a healthier foundation for future treatment. Our dental team provides personalized treatment with a procedure that includes jawbone grafting techniques and soft-tissue grafting to improve structure and protect surrounding areas of the mouth. Each treatment plan is tailored with careful planning and modern methods to restore function and appearance. Schedule a consultation with our Norton, MA office to learn how bone grafting to prevent bone loss can help restore your oral health.
How Does Bone Grafting Work?
Bone graft surgery restores missing or weakened bone by placing grafting material to support degrading areas. The body gradually integrates the material, allowing new bone to develop and strengthen the jaw. This process is often used in bone grafting for dental implants, creating a stable base so implants can be placed securely and function like natural teeth. For orthodontic needs, such as braces, grafting can improve bone structure and help guide teeth into proper alignment. A stronger foundation allows teeth to move more predictably and reduces the risk of complications during treatment. Soft-tissue grafting focuses on the gums rather than the bone. This technique adds tissue to areas where the gums have receded, protecting tooth roots and improving the overall appearance of the smile. These treatments promote long-term oral health and reinforce the jawbone and surrounding tissues.
What Are the Benefits of Bone Grafting?
At Advanced Dental Care of Norton, bone grafting improves the health and stability of the mouth while preparing it for future dental procedures. It also helps protect natural teeth and surrounding structures over time, offering the following benefits for our Norton, MA patients:

Bone Grafting Reviews
I highly recommend Advanced Dental Care of Norton. Dr. Gracia, Angela and all the others, be it in the labs, in the office or on staff, have been very professional, knowledgeable, and caring.I've had many years of dental work performed elsewhere. Braces, extractions, root canals, caps, crowns and TMJ related surgery. My teeth were very bad. Several dentists and oral surgeons said they could not help me. The most hopeful solution offered would require one to two years to complete, in several stages, requiring multiple, extended hospital stays. Not really what I was looking for so I was resigned to not talking clearly and eating liquid nourishment for the rest of my life.Dr. Gracia was recommended to me and I decided why not. Worst thing that could happen was a waste of a hour or so. Turns out to be one of the best decision I ever made.With his knowledge and modern equipment we did exams and had a working plan in that first meeting.Time wise, less than I expected. Major surgery was in the office and was done in one day. Bone grafting, screw sockets, cleaning out old remnants of past work, removal of infected bone areas, all done. All that heals while the teeth are made, and then the end results are a full set of beautiful, working, non removable (by me), teeth.Price wise initially gave me sticker shock but considering it over time it's not too bad. The benefits of implants. No more cavities to fill, no more caps, or crowns or root canals. Unlike dentures, they don't fall out or need gunk to hold them in. No more toothaches or hot/cold reactions. In my case, my dental insurance wouldn't cover dental appliance maintenance so no insurance cost.You still brush and floss and have a yearly check-up but that's less than the insurance.I've had mine for three plus years and am very happy with them and with Advanced Dental Care of Norton. Thank you Dr. Gracia, thank you Angela, thank you to everyone else that makes A.D.C. of Norton, the great place it is.If I had one complaint it would be that I have to learn how to smile again.Follow up to review.2026 and still going to this great place. Office is easy access. Facilities are clean and fully equipped to handle any issues. Staff is exceptional in all aspects. Dr. Gracia still checks me out if needed or just to say hello. Full implants so no cavities, crowns, caps or root canals. Just a cleaning once or twice a year. Still highly recommended. Thank you ADC of Norton.
I was referred to ADC/Norton by a dentist who due to excessive bone loss was unable to replace my broken upper crowns and bridges. At ADC I not only found "one stop services" but, an amazing group of people. Dr. Gracia and his kind and professional team did x-rays, extractions and bone grafts. I now have a full set of upper porcelain implants. I also, had my bottom teeth aligned by a wonderful orthodontist, Dr. Bejian, all at one convenient location. Dr. Gracia, Dr. Bejian and the entire ADC staff have literally bent over backwards to make sure I am always happy with my results.That's a first for me.
I have been a patient of Dr. Gracia's for 20 years and have been extremely happy with his level of care. At his practice, I have had scaling and grafting done by his affiliated periodontist and I have had practically all my oral exams and fillings done by Dr. Gracia personally. He was professional and courteous and he provided excellent care in every case. On those times he was not available during my visit, the other dentists at the office handled my case just fine in all but one instance (in which a new DMD simply recommended an unnecessary treatment). Dr. Gracia's hygienists have been excellent. For my fillings, bonding, checkups, and other care for 20 years, Dr. Alvaro Gracia has been excellent, and he continues to be my dental healthcare provider of choice.
