Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is performed at our Sexsmith office in preparation for a dental implant to make sure there is enough available jaw bone for a successful procedure.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is where the jawbone is built up to accommodate a dental implant or other restorative device.
Bone grafting is a common procedure that is used frequently for dental implants and other periodontal procedures.
The bone used to graft is taken from a sample from the patient. Many times, the bone is taken from another area of the mouth when drilling takes place.
The bone fragments are suctioned from the mouth and used for the graft. Cadaver bone fragments are also used.
