Performed at the time of tooth extraction, this procedure helps preserve bone structure and prevent future bone loss.
Restore jawbone strength and prepare for future tooth replacement with bone grafting at Longhorn Dental. Our Houston dental team offers advanced bone grafting procedures designed to support long-term oral health and improve the success of restorative treatments.
Get Started

Bone grafting is a dental procedure used to rebuild or strengthen areas of the jawbone that have lost density due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. When a tooth is missing, the surrounding bone can begin to deteriorate over time, making it difficult to place dental implants or other restorations.
At Longhorn Dental, we perform bone grafting with precision and care to promote natural bone regeneration. Our compassionate restorative dentistry team focuses on patient comfort while helping create a strong foundation for future dental treatments.
We offer several different types of bone grafting options at our clinic.
Each bone grafting treatment is carefully planned to meet your oral health challenges and support long-term dental success.
Is bone grafting painful?
The procedure is typically comfortable with local anesthesia. Mild soreness afterward is normal and manageable with proper care.
How long does bone grafting take to heal?
Healing time varies but generally takes several months as the bone integrates and strengthens.
Do I need bone grafting before dental implants?
Not always. Bone grafting is recommended when there isn’t enough healthy bone to support an implant.
