What Is Bone Grafting?
• A surgical procedure that places natural or synthetic bone material in areas of bone loss
• Stimulates your body’s natural bone regeneration process
• Can be performed after tooth extraction or before implant placement
• May involve your own bone, donor bone, or biocompatible materials
Ideal Candidates
You may benefit from a bone graft if you have:
· Bone loss from missing teeth
· Plans for dental implants
· Periodontal disease that caused jawbone deterioration
· Trauma or infection affecting the jaw structure

What to Expect
