Overview

What is a Bone Graft?

Bone grafting is a dental procedure that replaces or augments missing or damaged bone in the jaw. At Pflugerville Family Dentistry, our experienced team uses state-of-the-art bone grafting techniques to restore jaw structure, create a stable foundation for dental implants or dentures, and prevent further bone loss. Bone loss can result from tooth extractions, gum disease, trauma, or congenital defects, and bone grafting helps maintain your oral health and smile aesthetics.

Should I Consider a Bone Graft?

Bone grafting is often necessary to support dental restorations and maintain facial structure. Common reasons for a bone graft include:

  • Preparing the jaw for dental implants when the bone is insufficient
  • Preserving bone structure immediately after a tooth extraction
  • Restoring the natural contour of the jaw after tooth loss loss
  • Increasing bone height in the upper jaw through sinus lifts
  • Preventing further bone loss and maintaining facial aesthetics
