Bone Grafting in High Point, NC

When you arrive for your bone grafting procedure, we’ll ensure your comfort and provide sedation if you’re feeling anxious or scared. We’ll explain the procedure to you and answer any questions before we begin.

Here’s what you can expect for bone grafting in High Point:

1. First, we’ll numb the area thoroughly so you won’t feel anything.
2. Then, we’ll make a small incision in your gums to access the bone.
3. Before we insert the bone graft, we’ll clean and disinfect the area.
4. Next, we’ll place the bone material into your jaw and secure it.
5. The final step involves closing the incision.

That’s it!
