Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a procedure aimed at augmenting the jawbone to support dental implants or other restorative devices. This technique is commonly employed in dental practices, particularly for implant placements and periodontal treatments.

 

In many cases, the bone used for grafting is sourced from the patient's own body, often from another part of the mouth during the drilling process. The dentist carefully suctiones these bone fragments and utilizes them for the grafting procedure. Alternatively, bone grafts can also come from cadaver bone, which is collected by certified bone banks. These sources are meticulously screened to ensure safety and biocompatibility for patients.

 

Bone grafting plays a crucial role in preparing the jawbone for successful implant placement, promoting healing and stability in the long run. If you have questions or need guidance about bone grafting, consult our dentist to explore your options.
