A beautiful smile needs a solid foundation of healthy bone. Your bone volume may be lost over time as a result of prolonged gum disease, or the natural deterioration of bone that occurs when a tooth is removed.
This low bone density can present several problems:
Bone grafting is an excellent treatment to prepare you for tooth restoration, or to preserve the bone you have. Grafting material spurs your body to rebuild its structure and is incorporated in the following procedures.
RIDGE AUGMENTATION
Bone grafts can build up the structure that supports your gums when the loss of a tooth results in an indentation, restoring the contour of the tissue
RIDGE PRESERVATION
Grafting material can be placed immediately after tooth extraction to ensure that your bone volume remains healthy during the resorption phase
