Dental bone grafting is a procedure that involves adding bone material to areas with insufficient bone structure, often to support dental implants or restore jawbone health.
What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a dental procedure that involves adding bone material to areas of the jaw where bone has deteriorated or is insufficient. This graft material, which can be from your own body, a donor, or synthetic sources, is placed in the area needing reinforcement. Over time, the graft fuses with the existing bone, creating a stronger and more stable structure. This technique is often used before the placement of dental implants to ensure a solid base and improve the success and longevity of the implant.
