Build a Strong Foundation for Implants

Bone grafting is a procedure that strengthens areas of the jawbone that have lost density due to tooth loss, injury, or gum disease. A healthy jaw is essential for supporting dental implants and maintaining facial structure. At Smiles of Fulshear, Dr. Tan Ngo offers advanced bone grafting techniques to restore volume and create the stability needed for successful, long-lasting restorations.

What Is Bone Grafting? Strengthening the Jaw for a Healthier Smile

Bone grafting is a treatment that adds bone material to areas of the jaw where it has weakened or deteriorated. This can occur naturally after tooth loss since the jawbone relies on tooth roots for stimulation. By rebuilding lost density, bone grafting provides the foundation needed to place dental implants or maintain the natural shape of your face.

Dr. Ngo uses proven techniques and high-quality grafting materials to ensure strong, predictable outcomes. This procedure not only prepares the jaw for implant placement but also supports overall oral health and stability for years to come.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

Bone grafting provides both functional and cosmetic benefits. It enhances your ability to receive dental implants while also preventing long-term problems associated with jawbone deterioration. Restoring bone density also supports a more youthful facial appearance by maintaining structure and preventing the “sunken” look often caused by bone loss.

  • Restore lost jawbone density for improved oral health
  • Create a foundation for secure dental implant placement
  • Preserve natural facial contours and prevent collapse of the jawline
  • Protect surrounding teeth by stabilizing the jawbone
  • Support long-term results for both implants and natural teeth
  • Consultation and Imaging
    Dr. Ngo evaluates your jaw with digital imaging to assess bone health and determine the best grafting method.
  • Preparation
    The treatment area is numbed, and the site is carefully prepared to receive the grafting material.
  • Placement of Graft
    Bone material, either synthetic or natural, is added to the deficient area and secured in place.
  • Healing and Integration
    Over several months, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating strength and stability.
  • Next Steps
    Once healed, the area is ready for implant placement or continued restorative treatment.

The Bone Grafting Process

The process is carefully tailored to your needs, with Dr. Ngo guiding you through each stage of treatment. By rebuilding lost bone, bone grafting sets the stage for long-term success with implants and overall oral health. Patients are often surprised at how straightforward and comfortable the procedure can be.

Caring for Your Jaw After Bone Grafting

Maintaining excellent oral hygiene, avoiding smoking, and attending follow-up appointments are all key to supporting your recovery and long-term oral health.

  • Maintain gentle oral hygiene to keep the area clean
  • Avoid hard or chewy foods during the healing phase
  • Follow all post-op guidelines provided by Dr. Ngo
  • Attend follow-ups so we can monitor your progress
