Bone Grafting
Most dental bone grafting procedures are done to restore your bone to its original form following tooth loss, gum disease or trauma. It may also be used to maintain its shape after tooth extraction.
Restoring and maintaining facial bone structure is important for several reasons. Many dental procedures, such as implant placement, require that the bone be as close to its original dimension and position as possible for optimal results. Also, the jaw and other facial bones support the skin and muscle that are responsible for our outward cosmetic appearance. Without the support of the underlying bone, our faces can look prematurely aged.
