What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in your jaw using natural or synthetic materials. This is often necessary to support dental implants, which require a strong and healthy jawbone for successful placement and long-term stability. Bone grafting can also be used to repair bone defects caused by gum disease, trauma, or tooth extraction.
