Brandon Dental Bone Grafting

A dental bone graft is a minor surgical procedure that adds bone or bone-like material to your jaw. Over time, your body integrates the graft, creating a solid foundation for dental implants or supporting weakened teeth.

Bone grafting is often recommended if you’ve lost teeth, had gum disease, or if your jawbone has naturally thinned with age. Without enough bone, dental implants can’t be securely placed, making grafting an important step toward restoring your smile.

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, and many patients report minimal discomfort afterward. Dr. Stuckert and his team will also provide clear aftercare instructions to support quick healing.

Yes. If dental anxiety or discomfort is a concern, sedation dentistry can help you feel calm and relaxed throughout your bone grafting treatment.

We perform socket preservation using synthetic grafting material. This safe, biocompatible material is placed directly into the socket after a tooth extraction. It encourages your body to naturally rebuild bone, protects against shrinkage, and helps maintain the strength and shape of your jaw for future treatments like dental implants.

Healing times vary, but most patients need a few months for the graft to fully integrate with their natural bone. Once healed, your jaw will be ready for a dental implant or other restorative treatment.
