Bone Grafting in Orlando, FL - Sense Dental Center

A dental bone graft is a procedure used to rebuild or preserve jawbone that has been lost due to tooth extraction, gum disease, or trauma. Bone grafting is often necessary to support future dental implants or to maintain the natural structure of the jaw. By restoring lost bone, the procedure helps create a strong, stable foundation for long-term oral health.

A bone graft may be recommended if you have experienced bone loss after a tooth extraction or if your jawbone is not strong enough to support a dental implant. In many cases, a bone graft is placed at the same time as a tooth extraction to prevent bone deterioration. Your dentist will evaluate your bone structure to determine if bone grafting is necessary.

Bone grafting is typically very manageable and performed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure. Some mild swelling or soreness may occur afterward, but this is temporary and can usually be controlled with medication. At Sense Dental Center, we prioritize gentle care and provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

Healing time varies depending on the size and type of bone graft, but most patients can expect initial healing within a few weeks. Complete bone integration may take several months, especially when preparing for dental implants. Throughout the healing process, our team monitors progress to ensure successful results and long-term stability.

Bone grafting supports dental implants, prevents further bone loss, and helps restore facial structure affected by missing teeth. By preserving jawbone density, bone grafting also improves oral function and aesthetics, ensuring your smile remains healthy and natural-looking for years to come.
