Facial trauma, untreated gum disease, and tooth loss can result in jawbone recession, making it difficult to qualify for dental implants.
Bone grafting is a procedure designed to add volume and density to the jawbone and reestablish your candidacy for implant placement.
Let's take a closer look at how bone grafting works...
Help Replace Missing Teeth
Using a biocompatible grafting material or tissue from another part of your body, bone grafting can create a stable foundation for dental implants, allowing you to repair your smile.
Protect Your Smile after an Extraction
After removing a tooth, the jawbone can deteriorate. By packing the tooth socket with grafting material, a bone graft can prevent tissue loss.
High Success Rate
Studies have shown that dental implants placed in grafted tissue have similar success rates to implants placed in natural bone.
