Gum disease can affect more than your gums. Not only does advanced periodontal disease put your teeth in jeopardy, but it can also weaken the bones in your jaw. While our Frisco periodontic dentist would love to stop gum disease before it reaches that point, our office is prepared to deal with the later stages of periodontitis.
Take heart—if you come to Hunt Family Dentistry with gum disease that’s damaged bone, we can perform an expert bone grafting procedure. This restores your bone, encourages new growth, and sets you on the path to overall oral health.
Bone grafting enhances the foundation of your teeth and gums. Dr. Hunt transplants bone tissue to an area where you’ve lost bone density. By doing that, we can stimulate bone growth. That means that the grafting itself doesn’t just add bone but it also encourages the growth of more.
Grafting is particularly beneficial for patients who have suffered bone loss in their jaw due to periodontal disease. However, we can also use it for loss of bone density from injuries or lost teeth. This process not only improves the structural integrity of your jaw but also fosters a healthier environment for your gums and remaining teeth, contributing to overall oral well-being.
We know that as a patient, you might have reservations about bone grafting. However, this powerful procedure has helped countless patients regain their oral health and confidence. Advantages include:
The phrase “bone grafting” is scary, we know. But this is a common procedure and one Dr. Hunt is especially equipped to perform. Utilizing years of experience and by following the strictest safety protocols, Dr. Hunt and our team minimize the risk of complications to keep you safe. We will provide you with comprehensive aftercare guidelines to support your quick recovery, making the process as smooth as possible.
Knowing this is one thing, so we also take extra steps to help you feel relaxed. Our office is not a daunting or sparse environment. Instead, it’s warm, clean, bright, and breezy, helping you feel calm the minute you walk through the doors. Once we take you back for treatment, we can relax you even more with sedation options like nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation. We take a gentle, patient-centric approach to surgery, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable, and relaxed throughout your treatment.

Dr Hunt and his staff were amazing! I had a last minute tooth chip and they were able to fit me in asap so I didn’t have to attend a party with a chipped tooth. The office was immaculately clean with state of the art equipment. I’m so glad I found Hunt Family Dentistry. I truly felt like family when I was there.
I absolutely love this team…so welcoming and friendly. They took the time to get to know each of my kiddos & their specific concerns. I appreciate their patience with my daughter’s sensitivity as well as mine. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. I look forward to continuing our relationship. Thank you so much!
I cannot overstate how happy I am to have found Hunt Family Dentistry. I met with Dr. Hunt yesterday, and was extremely pleased with the service he and his staff provided. The office is modern and extremely clean. After evaluating my situation, Dr. Hunt took time to discuss my options and he never pressured me to accept one service over another.
Dr. Hunt has a state of the art clinic with leading edge equipments such as a 3 D modeler.

Dr. Hunt has a very calm demeanor and performs the procedure with your comfort as his top priority. I am glad that we finally have a great dental clinic for families in the neighborhood.
