A Surgical Procedure
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to build or restore jawbone volume, especially in areas where bone has deteriorated or is too thin to support dental implants. When teeth are lost, the surrounding bone begins to shrink over time. Bone grafting reverses this process by promoting new bone growth, creating a strong and stable foundation for future restorations.
Why Bone Grafting Is Needed:
To support dental implants in areas with bone loss
To rebuild the jaw after trauma, infection, or periodontal disease
To preserve bone after a tooth extraction (socket preservation)
To correct bone defects in preparation for dentures or bridges
