Bone Graft

Bone Graft 

Bone can be lost by tooth or gum disease or, if a tooth is missing or extracted, the bone may collapse into the empty socket and cause a sunken appearance to our cheeks or jaw. A bone graft can fix these conditions caused by dental disease or that result from an accident, and can also be used to create a solid foundation for a dental implant.

Bone grafts are frequently used to create a solid base for a dental implant, which is an artificial tooth that looks and acts just the same as one of your natural teeth. Your existing bone can be built up so that it accepts the implant better.  The sources of bone material work very well for creating the secure foundation your dental implant requires
