What is Bone Grafting?
A bone graft is a surgical dental procedure that is used to correct a defect or deficiency in the bone structure involved in supporting teeth or tooth implants. Bone grafts use the patient’s own bone or bone substitute (such as human or animal bones from bone and tissue banks, or synthetic materials) to build up the area where the bone is deteriorated. Bone grafts may be performed to help existing teeth position and integrate correctly. Where teeth are missing, a bone graft may be necessary for a tooth implant to hold correctly.
