Bone Grafts
in Frisco, TX

What are the benefits of dental bone grafts?

Bone graft procedures restore the strength and structure of your jaw, making it possible to support dental implants and maintain your facial shape. They help prevent bone loss that can occur after tooth loss and can improve the success of additional restorative procedures. Bone grafts also enhance oral function, allowing for better chewing and speaking. By rebuilding your jawbone, this treatment supports both your long-term dental health and the appearance of your smile.

What should I expect after a jawbone graft?

After a bone graft, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, soreness, or discomfort for a few days. Our team will provide detailed instructions and prescribe medication to help with healing. Most patients can return to daily activities within a day or two, but the grafted area will take several months to fully integrate. We’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make sure your jaw is healing properly before moving forward with additional treatment, like a dental implant placement.

How will I know if I need a bone graft treatment?

You may need a bone graft if you’ve lost bone in your jaw due to missing teeth, gum disease, or trauma. Before placing a dental implant, we’ll evaluate your jawbone with CBCT 3D imaging to determine if there’s enough bone to support it. If the bone is too thin or soft, a graft may be necessary to create a solid foundation. Our team will walk you through your treatment plan and explain all your options.
