Bone Grafting in Glenpool, OK

Restore What’s Missing Below the Surface

If you've lost a tooth or have worn dentures for years, chances are you've also lost bone density in your jaw. This bone loss can compromise your ability to receive dental implants or affect the shape and structure of your face.

At Glenpool Dental Group, we offer safe, effective bone grafting procedures to restore your jaw’s strength and volume — making you a better candidate for dental implants and ensuring long-term success with your restoration.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds or replaces bone in the jaw where volume has been lost due to:

• Tooth loss
  
• Periodontal (gum) disease
  
• Infection or trauma
  
• Long-term denture wear
  

During the procedure, bone material is placed in the deficient area, encouraging your body to grow new bone cells and regenerate lost structure. Over time, this creates a stable foundation for future restorations like dental implants.

Why You Might Need a Bone Graft

Bone grafting may be recommended if:

• You’ve been missing teeth for an extended period
  
• You’ve experienced bone shrinkage after an extraction
  
• You’re not a candidate for implants due to low bone volume
  
• You’re planning on an All-on-4 implant or implant-supported denture
  
• Gum disease or infection has caused bone deterioration
  

Without enough bone, implant posts may not be stable or successful. Bone grafting helps you get back on track.

Types of Bone Grafting Procedures

At Glenpool Dental Group, we provide several types of bone grafts based on your specific needs:

• Socket Preservation – Placed immediately after a tooth extraction to preserve the bone
  
• Ridge Augmentation – Rebuilds the natural contour of your jaw for implant or denture placement
  
• Sinus Lift – Adds bone to the upper jaw below the sinus, often necessary for upper molar implants
  
• Minor Grafts – Small areas of grafting to support a single implant site
  

We use biocompatible grafting materials, including donor tissue or synthetic substitutes, to promote safe and natural regeneration.

What to Expect During Bone Grafting

Most grafting procedures are performed in our office under local anesthesia, with optional sedation for comfort. Here’s what the process typically involves:

1. Consultation & Imaging: We take digital X-rays or 3D scans to assess the volume and density of your bone.
   
2. Grafting Procedure: Bone material is placed in the target area, and a protective membrane may be used to guide healing.
   
3. Healing & Integration: Over the next 3–6 months, the graft fuses with your natural bone to rebuild a stable foundation.
   
4. Next Steps: Once healed, you’ll be ready for implant placement or additional restorative treatment.
   

We’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions and check in regularly throughout the healing process.

Cost, Insurance & Payment Options

Bone grafting is often a necessary step in implant care and may be partially covered by dental insurance when tied to restorative treatment. Glenpool Dental Group makes your care accessible with:

• Acceptance of Delta Dental, GEHA, and other major insurers
  
• Flexible financing options via Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaeon
  
• Savings through our membership plan for uninsured patients
