Bone Grafts in Houston, TX

About Our Bone Grafts in Houston

A bone graft is a procedure that enhances the bone tissue in the jaw to ensure there is a strong foundation upon which to anchor dental implants successfully. Grafts can vary in complication from simply enhancing the bone alongside one implant to making important deviations to the figure, dimensions, and magnitude of the entire dental ridge. Bone loss can occur as a result of decay, swelling, shock or from periodontal disease.

The materials used for bone grafts can be found from a variety of sources, including your own bone, a human cadaver bone, animal bone or synthetic bone substitute. Bone grafts sourced from your own bone tends to be the safest and most effective source of graft material. This is because it can easily be integrated into your existing bone without any risk of infection or contamination, and it is not likely that your natural tissue will reject the graft material.
