Bone grafting is a procedure that replaces missing bone with transplanted bone tissue to improve the suitability for advanced dental restoration options, such as dental implants. When bone density is insufficient, this procedure can create a strong foundation for successful and long-lasting treatment.

A bone graft is an oral surgery procedure designed to strengthen areas of the jawbone that may lack the necessary density or thickness. During the procedure, a piece of bone is transplanted from another part of your body or an alternative source, such as artificial bone material or tissue bank bone fragments, to support the jawbone. Over time, the jawbone integrates with the grafted bone tissue, creating a stable foundation for dental restoration.
Bone grafts are commonly recommended when the jawbone does not have sufficient density to support dental implants or other treatments. After a tooth is lost or extracted, the jawbone can begin to lose density in that area, which may require correction before proceeding with dental implants. Bone grafting is also beneficial for certain types of periodontal therapy, especially when bone loss has occurred due to gum disease.
