Bone Grafting

When injury, decay, or trauma occurs within your mouth, bone loss is potentially a common side effect. Bone loss can occur around teeth, or in a site where a tooth was once present. Bone grafting is the replacement or augmentation of missing bone around the teeth. Bone grafting procedures help to regenerate bone that has been lost around a tooth.This can help stabilize the tooth and help prolong its existence in the mouth.Bone grafting in the site of a missing tooth can also help to rebuild the bone to provide a stable site for implant placement so that the tooth can be replaced.
