Dental Bone Grafting
Dental bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to repair or rebuild bones through the transplantation of bone tissue. This procedure allows your dentist to recreate bone and supporting tissue that are missing, typically to support dental implants.
Dental Bone Grafting
Dental bone grafting is necessary when there is a deficiency of natural bone in the mouth to support dental implants. This deficiency can be caused by developmental defects, gum disease, face injury or trauma, or empty space after teeth were removed.
There are several types of dental bone grafts. The best solution depends on the damage that needs to be repaired and the location of the lost tooth.
Dental bone grafts are a fairly common procedure, they are safe and a great long-term solution for someone who has lost a tooth due to periodontal disease, injury, or another type of dental or mouth infection.
