Bone Grafting in Frisco
Rebuilding your jawbone to support implants and restore oral health.
Building a Strong Foundation
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it begins to shrink over time. This bone loss can make dental implants difficult or impossible without first rebuilding the area. Bone grafting is a well-established procedure that restores the volume and density of your jawbone so it can support an implant.
At Stonelake Family Dentistry, we perform bone grafting procedures right here in our Frisco office. Using biocompatible graft materials, we encourage your body to regenerate new bone naturally. The process is straightforward, and most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is.
Whether you need grafting after an extraction, to prepare for implants, or to address bone loss from gum disease, our team will guide you through every step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is bone grafting painful?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain. Mild soreness afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter medication.
How long does healing take after a bone graft?
It typically takes three to six months for the graft to fully integrate with your existing bone. We monitor healing with imaging and will let you know when you’re ready for the next step.
Do I always need bone grafting before an implant?
Not always. If your jawbone has adequate density, we can place the implant without grafting. We use 3D imaging to evaluate your bone and determine the best approach.
