I would recommend this office for all your dental needs.

A bone graft is basically filling in or building up a thin or weak jawbone. A bone graft can fill space left after an extraction, or we can use it to boost the strength of a jawbone battling an infection brought on by gum disease. Your dentist will simply place material along your bone that will encourage new bone growth. While the procedure itself is quick, it will take several months for your bone to respond and heal.
We numb your mouth with local anesthesia before your grafting procedure, so you shouldn’t feel a thing during treatment. You can also elect to receive sedation to make you less aware of your surroundings while we work. Any discomfort following your procedure can typically be controlled by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever.
Bone grafts are safe when they are performed by a highly skilled dentist like Dr. Hanna. Dentists need training in this procedure and must do the proper screening before recommending it. Even so, it is not a complex procedure, and it’s commonplace at our office. We can discuss any possible side effects with you during the planning stages.
