Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild or strengthen areas of the jawbone that have lost bone over time. This loss can happen after a tooth is removed, from gum disease, or simply from being without a tooth for a long period. Bone grafting helps restore the foundation of the jaw so it can better support teeth, dental implants, or other restorations. During bone grafting, a dentist places bone material in the area where bone is lacking. Over time, your body naturally heals and integrates this material, creating stronger, healthier bone. Bone grafting is a common and predictable procedure that plays an important role in long-term oral health and treatment success.
