Strengthen Your Jaw With a Bone Grafting Procedure
When you get a procedure like bone grafting, you want to trust who is treating you. You can count on Drs. Bruce and Garrett Crawfords 35 plus years of experience. As a periodontist, he has extensive knowledge about dental implant procedures. In addition, his specialty requires him to have at least three years of education beyond his doctorate degree. Dr. Crawford has gone above and beyond this, since he values ongoing education.
Here is what you can expect with your bone grafting:
- Dr. Crawford will do a thorough exam. We’ll also take digital X-rays and 3-D scans of your mouth to plan for the procedure.
- He’ll discuss what you can expect and answer your questions. We want you to feel confident before the procedure begins.
- We’ll numb your mouth with local anesthesia, so you don’t feel anything. Sedation options are also available.
- Next, he’ll place the bone material in your jaw. After the procedure, it will take time for your mouth to heal and for new bone to grow. After some time has passed, you’ll return to our office to move forward with your implant placements, if that’s why you are receiving a grafting.
There may be other procedures involved to make you a candidate for implants. Dr. Crawford will discuss what’s needed during your treatment planning process.

An Experience Patients Trust
Dr. Crawford provided exceptional and compassionate service by helping me fix my left front tooth, which is an implant that fell out. Dr. Crawford came to the office during a holiday weekend to bring healing. They were warm, kind, and I felt as if I were a family member. I definitely recommend Dr. Crawford's office to anyone looking for a highly skilled and empathetic specialty dentist.
