Bone Grafting

To make sure important dental procedures, like implants or extractions, go well, our dentists might suggest a bone graft. This is done when there’s been bone loss in the jaw due to things like losing a tooth or having gum disease. In a bone graft, the dentist or oral surgeon adds special material to the jawbone where there’s not enough bone. This material can come from the patient, a donor, or be synthetic.

Over time, the body naturally combines this material with the existing bone, making the jaw stronger. This helps a lot when getting dental implants or other tooth replacements, as a strong jawbone is crucial for success and stability. Bone grafting is especially important for those wanting dental implants because a healthy and strong jawbone is needed for the implants to work well and last a long time. Through bone grafting, patients can bring back lost bone, improve their oral health, and get a reliable solution for missing teeth.
