    Bone Grafting

    What Is Bone Grafting?

    Bone grafting involves the placement of a natural or artificial graft at the site of bone loss to replenish the jawbone. Once you lose your natural teeth, the bone around the tooth socket diminishes over time. If it becomes too thin or flattened, it will not be sufficient for tooth replacement options, particularly dental implants.

    This is why our dentists perform bone grafting in Houston, TX, to fortify the remaining bone structure and restore its original thickness. Apart from implant surgery, we also utilize this technique for treating periodontal disease and improving facial aesthetics.

    What Are The Benefits of Bone Grafting?

    Our Houston, TX, practice uses advanced techniques and equipment to make the bone grafting procedure comfortable for you. It offers many benefits, including:

    • It replaces the lost bone volume and replenishes the jawbone.
    • It improves the overall strength of the jawbone.
    • It provides a solid foundation for the placement of dental implants or dentures.
    • It helps prevent further bone loss and promotes the growth of healthy bone.
    • It enhances oral functions and provides ease in chewing food.
    • It restores a youthful look by improving facial symmetry.

    How Does Bone Grafting Work in Houston, TX?

    If you are eligible for bone grafting, we will start the process by injecting a local anesthetic at the treatment site. Once the tissues are numb, our dentists will place an incision over the gum line to expose the underlying bone. Among the different types of bone grafts (autografts, allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts), we will choose the one that best suits your needs and has minimal recovery time.

    Along with grafting material, we add tissue regeneration factors to promote the healing process. Once the treatment is complete, we will place sutures at the treatment site to close the incision and secure the graft in its place.

    Let me just say that I’m not one who goes to the dentist often. But when I do this is the place that I go to. The staff are very welcoming for new and existing patients. When I went I was a little nervous at first but when I got there the staff talked with me asked how my day was, told me what they planned to do in terms I understood, that sort of thing. And when I was in the chair I was in and out in no time at all and didn’t feel any pain.

    Post-Treatment Care

    Bone grafting is a minimally invasive oral surgery that requires special care afterward for proper healing. After the treatment, you may feel slight pain or tenderness at the site, which is normal. These side effects are temporary and often resolve quickly. Take your prescribed medications to help with post-treatment pain and discomfort.

    Our Houston, TX, dentists will also recommend eating a soft diet for a few days following a bone graft surgery. Avoid eating hot or spicy foods as they may irritate the graft site. It is also important to avoid smoking because it hinders the healing process.
