Bone Grafting in Northwest Oklahoma City

Rebuild Bone. Restore Confidence.

Bone loss in the jaw is common after tooth loss or injury — but it doesn’t mean you have to settle for missing teeth or loose dentures. Bone grafting is a minor surgical procedure that restores lost bone volume, allowing you to become a candidate for dental implants or improve the fit of a denture.

Dr. Armin Zarkeshan provides this procedure in a comfortable, trusted setting — without the need to refer you to a specialist.

What Is Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting involves placing specialized bone material into an area where your jaw has lost density. Over time, your body naturally integrates the graft and builds new bone in the area.

This is most often recommended:

• After tooth extraction to preserve the site for future implant placement
  
• When placing dental implants in areas with bone loss
  
• To stabilize a denture that no longer fits properly due to shrinking bone
  
• In cases of trauma, gum disease, or natural jaw atrophy
  

Our digital imaging technology helps us determine if you need a graft and what type is best for your needs.

Signs You May Need a Bone Graft

• You’ve been missing teeth for several months or years
  
• Your jaw looks sunken or has changed shape
  
• A previous dentist told you that you don’t have enough bone for implants
  
• You’ve had trouble wearing dentures due to poor fit
  
• You plan to get an implant in the near future
  

We’ll walk you through the process and create a plan that supports long-term health and restoration success.

Types of Bone Grafts We Offer

Every patient's needs are different. At Legacy Family Dentistry, we offer several types of bone grafting procedures:

• Socket Preservation – placed immediately after a tooth is extracted to prevent bone loss
  
• Ridge Augmentation – rebuilds the natural contours of the jaw after significant loss
  
• Sinus Lifts – adds bone beneath the sinus cavity in the upper jaw for implant placement
  
• Block Grafts – used in more advanced cases of bone deficiency
  

Dr. Armin will evaluate your case and recommend the least invasive, most effective grafting technique for your goals.

What to Expect During the Procedure

1. Planning & Imaging
   
   • We use 3D digital scans to precisely assess bone volume and plan treatment
     
2. Procedure Day
   
   • The area is numbed completely for your comfort
     
   • Grafting material is placed in the targeted area and secured
     
   • Sutures may be placed to assist healing
     
3. Healing Phase
   
   • The site heals over a few months, during which natural bone replaces and strengthens the graft
     
   • Once healed, implant placement or denture fitting can begin
     

The process is safe, predictable, and often essential for long-term restoration success.
