Bone Grafting Surgery at Highland Rejuvenation Clinic

Restoring Your Smile, One Step at a Time

Bone grafting is a vital dental procedure that supports the long-term health and functionality of your jawbone and teeth. At Highland Rejuvenation Clinic in Georgetown, TX, we use advanced techniques and a personalized approach to give you expert care and help you achieve a healthier smile. Whether you're preparing for dental implants or need support for weakened jaw structures, bone grafting can provide the foundation for optimal oral health.

What is Bone Grafting Surgery?

Bone grafting surgery is a specialized dental procedure designed to rebuild or strengthen bone tissue in the jaw. Often recommended for patients experiencing bone loss, this treatment ensures the jaw can effectively support dental restorations, such as implants, and maintains the facial structure.

At Highland Rejuvenation Clinic, we use innovative techniques and cutting-edge technology to make the bone grafting process as smooth and efficient as possible.

When Might You Need Bone Grafting?

Patients typically consider dental bone grafting for the following conditions:

• To support dental implants: Insufficient bone tissue can make implants unstable. Grafting provides a strong foundation.
• Bone loss: Bone atrophy caused by trauma, illness, or tooth loss can weaken the jawbone over time.
• Periodontal disease: Severe gum disease can cause the bone surrounding teeth to deteriorate.
• Oral injury or surgery: Repair damaged bones or reconstruct parts of the jawbone after an injury.

Bone Grafting Procedure: Step by Step

When you visit the Highland Rejuvenation Clinic, here's what you can expect during your bone graft procedure:

1. Initial Consultation: During the first visit, we’ll perform a full evaluation, including X-rays or 3D imaging. This helps us assess your bone’s health and determine if bone grafting is appropriate.
2. Customized Treatment Plan: Every patient is unique. We'll design a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and desired outcomes.
3. The Graft: The process involves placing a small amount of bone material into the affected area of the jaw. This material may come from your own body, a donor, or be synthetic, depending on your situation.
4. Healing Process: Once the material is placed, your jawbone naturally integrates and regenerates over time, creating a solid foundation for further restorations.
5. Follow-up Care: Throughout the healing process, our team will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment as needed.

Our compassionate and skilled dental professionals ensure your comfort every step of the way.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovering from a dental bone graft procedure involves patience and attentive aftercare. After your surgery, our team at Highland Rejuvenation Clinic provides clear instructions and guidance to support a smooth recovery, such as:
