Bone grafting is a transformative procedure that addresses bone loss in the jaw, which can result from conditions such as gum disease or tooth extractions. This loss of bone can affect your facial appearance, leading to a sunken-in look, and can pose challenges for future dental implants or denture fitting. Dr. Lena Khan and the team at Dental Studio of Melissa offer bone grafting to restore jaw integrity for patients in Melissa, TX.
Bone grafting becomes necessary when there are significant areas of bone loss around the jaw. Conditions like gum disease can gradually erode the bone, while tooth extractions can also contribute to bone resorption over time. Whether you are planning for dental implants or dentures, ensuring adequate bone support is crucial for successful treatment outcomes. Determining your candidacy involves a comprehensive examination and x-rays to assess the extent of bone loss.
The procedure begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your options and address any concerns. An incision is made in the gums to access the treatment area, and the bone graft material is carefully placed, sometimes with a bone growth factor applied to promote healing. Over time, the new bone material fuses with your existing jawbone, providing a solid foundation. Once healing is complete, we schedule you to return for an implant or a new denture.

If someone told me I'd have a 5-star experience at a dentist of all places, I'd call them a liar. Well, I just had two.

I needed dental work that I had put off for years because I was terrified of the dentist. I thought it was going to be so painful, but it wasn't.
