Bone Grafting in Austin, TX

When tooth loss or gum disease causes bone to deteriorate, you may need a bone graft to rebuild your jaw and prepare for restorative procedures like dental implants. At Glauser Family Dentistry in Austin, TX, we offer advanced dental bone grafting techniques that restore oral health, prevent further bone loss, and create a strong foundation for your future smile.

We proudly serve patients in Anderson Mill, North Austin, Leander, Bee Cave, Spicewood, and Dripping Springs with conservative, patient-focused treatment planning and gentle surgical care.

What Is Dental Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to rebuild bone in areas where it has been lost. This treatment is often necessary when the jawbone becomes too thin, soft, or narrow to support a dental implant or other restoration.

At Glauser Family Dentistry, bone grafting may be recommended:

• After a tooth extraction to preserve the jaw ridge
• Before placing dental implants
• To reverse bone loss from periodontal disease
• In preparation for full or partial dentures

We use biocompatible bone graft materials that stimulate your body’s natural bone regeneration process, resulting in a stronger, healthier jaw.

Signs You May Need Bone Grafting

Bone grafting may be needed if you:

• Were told you’re not a candidate for dental implants
• Have had missing teeth for a long time
• Are experiencing facial sagging or changes in bite
• Lost bone after trauma or periodontal disease
• Need to restore jaw support for better-fitting dentures

Our experienced dentists, Dr. Grant Glauser and Dr. Kathleen McNeil, will perform a detailed evaluation, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging, to determine if bone grafting is the right solution for you.

Types of Bone Grafting We Provide

Each bone graft is customized to meet the needs of your jaw and treatment goals. We offer:

Socket Preservation (Ridge Preservation)

Placed immediately after a tooth is removed to maintain the bone structure and prevent collapse. This is often the first step toward a future implant.

Ridge Augmentation

Used to rebuild a jaw ridge that has lost width or height due to trauma or tooth loss. It improves support for dentures or bridges.

Sinus Lift

When the upper jaw lacks bone for implants, a sinus lift adds bone between the jaw and sinus floor—essential for replacing upper molars with implants.

Our Bone Grafting Process

At Glauser Family Dentistry, your comfort, safety, and results come first:

1. Consultation & Imaging

We’ll perform a full exam with 3D scans to determine bone volume and grafting needs.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan

We’ll recommend the right grafting procedure for your case and review any necessary pre-treatment steps.

3. In-Office Procedure

Bone grafts are placed using advanced, minimally invasive techniques under local anesthesia, with sedation available for added comfort.

4. Healing & Monitoring

As your body integrates the graft over the next several months, we monitor healing and prepare for implant placement or other restorations.

FAQs: Bone Grafting in Austin, TX

Is bone grafting painful?

No. We numb the area completely before the procedure. You may experience mild soreness afterward, which is typically manageable with over-the-counter medication.

How long does bone grafting take to heal?

Initial healing takes about 1–2 weeks, but full integration of the graft typically takes 4–6 months depending on your health and the graft type.

Can I get an implant right after a bone graft?

Sometimes. In minor grafts, we may place the implant immediately. Larger grafts may require full healing first.

How much does a bone graft cost?

Cost varies depending on the size and complexity of the procedure. We offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options.

Is bone grafting covered by insurance?

Some insurance plans cover bone grafting, especially when it's medically necessary. Our front desk team will help you understand your benefits.
