Bone Grafting in san antonio, tx

What Is Bone Grafting?

Certain conditions can lead to loss or deterioration of your jaw bones. These can be the result of localized acute or chronic infection such as an abscess or periodontal disease. This an also result from a tumor or cyst in your jaw that has destroyed the natural form of the jawbone. Many times after a tooth is removed the bone that supports the tooth, also known as the alveolus, collapses after a dental extraction. All these and more are examples of conditions that may require bone grafting. 

Successful dental implant placement depends on having enough healthy bone in your jaw to support the implant securely. However, it’s common for patients who have lost teeth to also experience bone loss in those areas—making implant treatment more challenging. At Mission Oral Surgery and Implant Center, we offer advanced bone grafting procedures that can restore lost bone and help prepare your jaw for a stable, long-lasting dental implant.

Bone grafting involves placing specialized material in areas where bone has deteriorated, encouraging new growth and improving the strength and volume of the jawbone. This treatment can be essential in creating a solid foundation for your future dental restoration.

Why Consider Bone Grafting?

Some of the key benefits of bone grafting include:

  • Improved Implant Success – Bone grafting increases your chances of a safe, secure, and lasting dental implant by rebuilding necessary support.
  • Preserved Facial Structure – Rebuilding bone helps maintain the natural contours of your face, reducing the risk of sunken or aged appearance over time.
  • Future-Proofing Your Smile – Even if you’re not ready for an implant now, bone grafting can help preserve your jaw for future restorative options.
