Bone Grafting in Katy, TX
When teeth are missing or extracted, the jawbone underneath can begin to shrink and deteriorate. Without enough bone support, it becomes difficult—or even impossible—to replace missing teeth with dental implants or stable dentures. At Sapphire Family Dentistry in Katy, TX, we offer advanced bone grafting procedures to restore bone strength, preserve facial structure, and prepare your mouth for future tooth replacement options.
Why Bone Grafting Matters
Your jawbone needs the daily stimulation of tooth roots to stay dense and healthy. When teeth are lost:
- Bone resorption occurs rapidly
- Surrounding teeth may shift or loosen
- Facial sagging and an aged appearance can develop
- Replacing missing teeth with implants becomes challenging
Bone grafting helps regenerate lost bone, ensuring your oral health, function, and appearance are preserved.
Our Bone Grafting Services
At Sapphire Family Dentistry, we offer comprehensive bone restoration techniques:
✅ Socket Preservation
Immediately after a tooth extraction, we place grafting material into the empty socket to maintain bone height and density for future restoration.
✅ Ridge Augmentation
If bone loss affects the width or height of your jaw ridge, this procedure rebuilds the jaw’s natural shape—ideal for improving denture fit or preparing for implants.
✅ Sinus Lift
When bone in the upper back jaw is too thin, we gently lift the sinus membrane and place bone graft material to create a stable foundation for dental implants.
How Bone Grafting Works
Bone grafting is a precise surgical procedure that involves:
- Placing bone graft material (either donor, synthetic, or your own) into areas of bone loss
- Stimulating new bone growth naturally over the coming months
- Restoring strength, volume, and density to support future restorations or implants
Our experienced Katy dental team uses advanced techniques and works with multiple insurance providers to make bone grafting as effective, comfortable, and affordable as possible.
