Bone Grafting in Montreal
Rebuild Jawbone for Dental Implants
Bone grafting is an advanced surgical procedure used to restore lost bone in the jaw and create a strong foundation for dental implants. At our Montreal clinic, Dr. Mohamed Youssef uses modern, minimally invasive techniques to rebuild bone safely and predictably.
If you have been told you do not have enough bone for dental implants, bone grafting can make implant treatment possible.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting involves adding bone or bone-like material to areas where the jawbone has deteriorated or is insufficient.
The graft material may come from:
your own bone
donor bone
synthetic or biocompatible materials
The goal is to:
increase bone volume
strengthen the jaw structure
support dental implants
Bone loss may occur due to:
tooth loss
gum disease
trauma or infection
long-term denture use
Benefits of Bone Grafting
Bone grafting provides important functional and structural benefits:
makes dental implants possible
restores jawbone volume
preserves facial structure
improves long-term oral health
increases implant success rates
Potential Drawbacks and Risks
Bone grafting is a safe and predictable procedure, but may include:
swelling or mild discomfort
healing time before implant placement
additional surgical step
rare risk of graft failure or infection
Modern techniques significantly reduce complications and improve success rates.
How the Bone Grafting Procedure Works
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, with optional sedation.
Steps include:
preparation of the graft site
placement of bone graft material
stabilization of the graft
protection of the area for healing
The procedure typically takes 45–120 minutes, depending on complexity.
Recovery After Bone Grafting
Recovery is usually well tolerated.
Most patients experience:
mild swelling for a few days
minimal discomfort
return to normal activities within a few days
Healing time for bone integration typically ranges from 3 to 6 months before implant placement.
Post-operative care may include:
avoiding pressure on the area
following a soft diet
using prescribed medications
Who is a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate for bone grafting if you have:
insufficient bone for implants
long-term missing teeth
bone loss from gum disease
need for sinus lift or implant preparation
A consultation and 3D imaging will determine your bone condition.
Cost of Bone Grafting in Montreal
The cost depends on:
size of the graft
type of material used
complexity of the procedure
In Montreal, bone grafting may range from $500 to $3000+ depending on the case.
A personalized treatment plan will provide a precise estimate.
Bone Grafting vs No Treatment
Without bone grafting, bone loss may continue and lead to:
inability to place implants
facial collapse or aging appearance
worsening oral health
Bone grafting helps restore structure and allows for long-term solutions like implants.

The Khoury technique (also known as the Khoury bone block graft) is an advanced bone grafting method that uses the patient’s own bone to create a stable and well protected graft during the healing period, promoting faster and more predictable bone regeneration.
Dr. Youssef can offer that option which is particularly effective for rebuilding severe bone defects and providing a strong foundation for dental implants.
