Bone graftingDental implants are artificial replacements for your tooth roots that are placed within the bone of your jaw so that they can be used to support dentures, crowns (caps) or bridges.
Bone loss in the mouth can be problematic for dental implant treatment, since implants require sufficient bone volume to anchor them. Bone grafting makes it possible for people with inadequate bone to benefit from dental implants; allowing them to look forward to having a solution for missing teeth using implants, all credit to bone graft procedures. The grafted material may be synthetic, taken from the patient or another donor.
