Successful dental implant rehabilitation hinges on the integration of both hard and soft tissues. Hard-tissue grafting compensates for alveolar deficiencies stemming from tooth loss or trauma, while soft-tissue grafting ensures peri-implant stability and aesthetic harmony. This review comprehensively examines the biological principles, materials, surgical techniques, and long-term outcomes of grafting procedures, with emphasis on recent advances from 2020-2025. Autogenous grafts, while still the benchmark, are increasingly complemented or replaced by allogeneic, xenogeneic, and synthetic substitutes. Cutting-edge adjuncts--including growth factors, platelet concentrates, stem cells, and digitally designed 3D-printed scaffolds--have expanded the regenerative toolbox. Moreover, precision imaging and CAD/CAM technologies enable tailored grafting strategies. This article synthesizes recent clinical evidence, meta-analyses, and expert consensus to guide prosthodontists toward optimized, patient-specific implant outcomes.
