Bone Grafting After Surgical Extraction in Maitland, FL
Bone grafting is commonly performed after a surgical tooth extraction to support your oral health and prepare the site for future restorations. At Maitland Square Dentistry, we offer bone grafting to help you maintain a strong, healthy jawbone.
Why bone grafting matters
After a tooth is removed, the bone that once supported it can begin to deteriorate. This may lead to shifting teeth, changes in facial structure and difficulties with future dental implants.
The Bone Grafting Process
The process begins with a thorough evaluation by Dr. David Hazan. During your consultation, he assesses your oral health and bone structure to choose the most suitable grafting material. Common materials include autografts (your own bone), allografts (donor bone) and synthetic options.
During the procedure, the graft material is placed in the socket where the tooth was extracted. The graft acts as a scaffold that encourages new bone growth and provides a stable foundation for future implants or restorations. Healing may take several months, during which the graft integrates with your natural bone to create a strong, durable result.

We know your comfort matters, and we use advanced techniques to make the procedure as smooth and pain-free as possible. Our team provides personalized care and support throughout the entire process.
