When a Bone Graft May Be Needed
The jawbone needs stimulation from tooth roots to maintain its volume. When a tooth is lost or removed, the bone in that area naturally begins to shrink. Bone grafting may be recommended when:
- ●A tooth has been missing for some time and the bone has resorbed
- ●You are planning a dental implant and need additional bone to support it
- ●Gum (periodontal) disease has damaged the bone around your teeth
- ●A tooth extraction site needs to be preserved for a future implant
- ●An injury or infection has caused bone loss in the jaw
Types of Bone Grafting We Provide in Mitchell
From routine cases to complex surgical care, our surgeons offer a full range of treatment.
Socket Preservation
A graft placed immediately after a tooth extraction to protect the site and keep it ready for a future implant.
Ridge Augmentation
Rebuilds the width or height of the jaw ridge after long-term bone loss so an implant can be placed securely.
Sinus Lift
Adds bone to the upper jaw near the molars when the sinus sits too close for safe implant placement.

What to Expect: Bone Grafting at Our Mitchell Office
A clear, three-step process from your first appointment to a smooth recovery.
Consultation & 3D Imaging
Your surgeon reviews your medical history and takes diagnostic 3D images to evaluate your jawbone. You’ll discuss anesthesia options and the grafting material best suited to your case.
Graft Placement
Once anesthesia is administered, your oral surgeon places the grafting material in the area of bone loss and secures it so your body can integrate it with your natural bone.
Healing & Next Steps
Over the following months, the graft fuses with your jaw, creating a strong foundation. If your graft is part of an implant plan, your surgeon will schedule implant placement once the site has fully healed.
Aftercare Tips Following Bone Grafting
Plan for downtime
Rest for 2–3 days before returning to work or school.
Reduce swelling
Apply ice packs in 20-minute intervals during the first 48 hours.
Manage pain
Use prescribed medications as directed by your surgeon.
Stick to soft foods
Smoothies, mashed potatoes, yogurt, applesauce, and broths are ideal for the first few days.
Avoid straws and smoking
Suction and smoke can disturb the graft site, so avoiding both protects it and supports healing.
Brush gently
Keep your mouth clean, but avoid brushing the surgical area at first.
You’ll receive a complete post-op care guide before leaving our office. If you notice severe or prolonged pain and swelling, call us right away.

Bone Grafting in Mitchell, SD: FAQs
Where is your Mitchell office located?
Our Mitchell location is at 1222 E 7th Ave, Mitchell, SD 57301. We’re open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM. Call 800-952-0066 to schedule.
Do I need a bone graft before getting a dental implant?
Not always. Your surgeon uses 3D imaging to measure your jawbone. If there is enough healthy bone, your implant can be placed without grafting. If bone has been lost, a graft creates the foundation your implant needs.
Is bone grafting painful?
Our surgeons are certified to administer all modalities of outpatient anesthesia, so your comfort is prioritized throughout the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort.
How long does a bone graft take to heal?
Healing time varies by the size and location of the graft. Many patients resume normal activities within a few days, while the graft itself typically integrates with your natural bone over the following months. Your surgeon will give you a timeline specific to your case.
