Grand Prairie, TX – May 29, 2026 – Dental implants continue to be one of the most requested long-term tooth replacement options as more patients look for stable alternatives to removable appliances and bridges. At the same time, many patients are surprised to learn they may require bone grafting before implant placement, especially after years of missing teeth. This often leads to multiple referrals, longer timelines, and added confusion during treatment planning.
Bone support plays a major role in implant stability and long-term function. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, bone loss can begin shortly after tooth loss and continue over time if the area is not restored. Patients who have delayed treatment for years are often told they may not have enough bone for implants, which can discourage them from pursuing care altogether.
“Many patients assume they are no longer candidates for implants because they were told they have bone loss,” said Dr. Behrooz Khademazad, DDS of Grand Prairie Family Dental in Grand Prairie, TX. “The evaluation process is important because every patient’s anatomy and situation is different. In some cases, bone grafting may help create the foundation needed for implant placement.”
Grand Prairie Family Dental provides implant evaluations, bone grafting, implant placement, and restoration planning in one location under the supervision of Dr. Khademazad. Providing implant and bone grafting services in one location may help simplify communication and treatment coordination for some patients. Dr. Khademazad has practiced in Grand Prairie since opening the office on August 28, 1988 and has experience across restorative, cosmetic, and surgical dentistry. He holds a B.S. in Biochemistry, earned his DDS degree, and has completed extensive continuing education throughout his career. Texas dental license number 15515.
Grand Prairie Family Dental’s dental implant process often includes:
-
Digital imaging and comprehensive implant evaluation
-
Assessment of bone density and surrounding oral structures
-
In-house bone grafting when clinically appropriate
-
Implant placement and long-term restoration planning
-
Ongoing maintenance and preventive care recommendations
Treatment recommendations vary based on each patient’s exam findings, medical history, goals, and risk factors. Not every patient is a candidate for dental implants, and timelines may differ depending on healing and bone support requirements.
