Bone Grafting in Westlake, TX
Rebuilding the foundation when others say implants aren't possible.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Over time, the jawbone can shrink, from missing teeth, gum disease, or injury. When too little bone remains, there is nothing solid for a dental implant to anchor to. Bone grafting rebuilds that foundation.
In the procedure, bone or a bone substitute is placed where the jaw has weakened, giving the body a scaffold to grow new, healthy bone around. Grafting material can come from your own body, a donor source, or a synthetic substitute, chosen based on your case. Once the area has healed and strengthened, it can support an implant that lasts.

Rebuilding What Makes Implants Possible
Replaces the bone volume lost to missing teeth or disease, so areas once too weak for implants can support them again.
Many patients told they "aren't candidates" elsewhere become candidates once the foundation is rebuilt. Grafting is often the first step.
Preserving and rebuilding jawbone helps maintain the shape of your face, preventing the sunken look that bone loss causes over time.
The Bone Grafting Process at Stone Dental Implant Center
1. Consultation & 3D Scan
A 3D scan shows exactly where bone has been lost and how much, so the graft is planned precisely to your anatomy.
2. Choosing the Graft
Dr. Stone selects the right grafting material for your case, whether from your own body, a donor source, or a synthetic substitute.
3. Graft Placement
The graft is placed where the jaw needs rebuilding, using a precise surgical technique under sedation matched to your comfort.
4. Healing & New Bone Growth
Over the following months, your body grows new bone around the graft, forming a strong, stable foundation.
5. Ready for Implants
Once the area has healed and strengthened, it can support a dental implant, often the next step in restoring your smile.

Healing time varies with the size of the graft. Minor grafts may be ready in a few months, while larger reconstructions take longer. Dr. Stone maps out your exact timeline at the consultation, before the implant step begins.
