Bone Grafting in Beverly Hills, CA
Dental bone grafting is one of the most important procedures in modern implant dentistry, yet it remains the step that patients most commonly have questions about. When a tooth is lost or extracted, the bone that once surrounded the root begins to resorb. Within months, meaningful bone volume can be lost. Within years, significant structural deficiency can develop that makes implant placement difficult or impossible without first rebuilding the bone foundation.
At Confidental Beverly Hills, Dr. Liyan Massaband, DMD MPH performs the full range of dental bone grafting procedures, from simple socket preservation at the time of extraction to complex sinus lifts and ridge augmentation for patients who require significant bone volume restoration before implant placement. Every bone grafting case is planned using 3D CBCT imaging for precise assessment and executed with the technique precision that produces reliable, predictable healing.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Dental bone grafting, also called bone augmentation, is the process of placing bone graft material into an area of the jaw where bone volume is insufficient, either to preserve existing bone after tooth extraction, to rebuild bone lost to periodontal disease or infection, or to create the volume needed for successful dental implant placement.
The graft material acts as a scaffold that encourages the body’s own bone-forming cells to migrate into the area and deposit new bone tissue. Over time, the graft material is gradually replaced by the patient’s own living bone. The result is a regenerated bone structure that can support dental implants with the same stability as naturally intact bone.
Not every patient needs bone grafting before receiving dental implants. Some patients have sufficient bone volume for direct implant placement. Others have experienced enough resorption that bone grafting is a prerequisite for safe and stable implant positioning. A 3D CBCT scan at your dental evaluation provides the definitive assessment of your bone volume and determines whether grafting is needed.
Why does bone loss happen after tooth extraction? When a tooth is removed, the bone that surrounded the root no longer receives the mechanical stimulation of chewing forces through that root. Without this stimulation, bone cells shift their balance from bone formation to resorption. In the first three months after extraction, up to 50 percent of the width and 30 percent of the height of the socket can be lost. This is why socket preservation grafting placed at the time of extraction is one of the most effective and cost-efficient bone grafting procedures available.
Types of Bone Graft Materials
Bone graft material comes from several sources, each with specific clinical advantages for different situations. Dr. Massaband selects the most appropriate material for each patient based on the size and location of the defect, the availability of the patient’s own bone, the degree of regeneration needed, and patient preferences regarding the use of donor or synthetic materials.
The Dental Crown Procedure at Confidental Beverly Hills
Knowing exactly what to expect before, during, and after your crown procedure removes a significant amount of anxiety for most patients. Here is a clear, step-by-step walkthrough of the standard two-visit crown process. For same-day CEREC crowns, steps 3, 4, and 5 occur within a single extended appointment.
Consultation and Treatment Planning
Your crown process begins with a thorough evaluation of the tooth being crowned. Digital X-rays confirm the health of the root, surrounding bone, and adjacent teeth. Dr. Massaband explains the recommended crown material, the reason a crown is the appropriate treatment, and exactly what the process will involve. A precise cost estimate is provided before any treatment is scheduled.
Tooth Preparation
At your first crown appointment, local anesthesia is applied to ensure you feel nothing during the procedure. Any decay is removed and the tooth is reshaped by reducing it by approximately 1.5 to 2 millimeters on all surfaces to create space for the crown material. If the tooth has very little natural structure remaining, a buildup is placed to create a foundation for the crown to grip onto.
Impressions and Temporary Crown Placement
A digital scan or physical impression of the prepared tooth, opposing teeth, and bite is taken and sent to our dental laboratory. A provisional crown is then placed over the prepared tooth. This temporary crown protects the tooth and maintains your bite and appearance while the permanent crown is fabricated, a process that typically takes one to two weeks.
Permanent Crown Placement
When your permanent crown arrives from the laboratory, you return for a second appointment. The temporary is removed, the permanent crown is seated and evaluated for fit, color, and bite, and minor adjustments are made as needed. Once everything is confirmed, the crown is permanently cemented. This appointment typically takes 20 to 30 minutes and rarely requires additional anesthesia.

Bone Grafting Cost in Beverly Hills
Dental bone grafting cost varies significantly based on the type of procedure, the volume of graft material needed, and whether additional components such as membranes and PRF are included. Here are the typical starting ranges for bone grafting procedures at Confidental Beverly Hills.
| Bone Grafting Procedure | Typical Starting Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Socket Preservation (single tooth) | From $400 | Placed at extraction. Most cost-effective bone preservation |
| Small Ridge Augmentation | From $800 | Limited defect. Single implant site preparation |
| Lateral Sinus Lift | From $2,500 per sinus | Larger volume sinus floor augmentation. Healing 6 to 9 months |
| Internal Sinus Lift | From $1,000 per site | Minor sinus elevation at time of implant placement |
| Guided Bone Regeneration (complex defect) | From $1,500 | Includes membrane and larger volume graft material |
| PRF Addition | From $200 | Patient’s own growth factors to accelerate healing |
Dental insurance coverage for bone grafting varies. Socket preservation is sometimes covered under the extraction benefit or as a site development procedure. Bone grafting for functional implant placement may be partially covered by dental or medical insurance when the tooth loss is related to injury or documented medical necessity. Our team reviews your specific benefits before scheduling. Flexible financing is available for patients planning implant and grafting treatment together. A complete, itemized cost estimate is provided before any treatment begins.
Why Beverly Hills Patients Choose Confidental for Bone Grafting
Bone grafting outcomes are directly determined by the quality of surgical technique, the accuracy of treatment planning, and the appropriateness of graft material selection. At Confidental Beverly Hills, all bone grafting procedures are planned using 3D CBCT imaging that provides the precise anatomical information needed for safe and accurate graft placement. The procedure is performed with the same meticulousness as implant surgery, because the quality of the graft foundation directly determines the long-term success of everything built on top of it.
Because Dr. Massaband both grafts and places implants at Confidental Beverly Hills, the planning of both procedures is coordinated from the very beginning. The graft is designed specifically for the planned implant positions, and the implant placement is performed by the same clinician who designed and placed the graft. This continuity of care eliminates the communication gaps and planning mismatches that occasionally develop when grafting and implant placement are performed by different providers.
