Once the tooth is removed, over a period of time the bone
supporting it gradually gets resorbed. At this time there is a very low
possibility that the bone could support the implant. A dental bone graft adds
volume and density to your jaw in areas where bone loss has occurred. Bone
grafting also promotes the growth of bone.
Who needs a dental bone graft?

bone loss in their jaw usually needs a dental bone graft. This procedure may be

How does the bone graft work?
Once the bone graft has been placed, it holds space for
your own body to do the repair work. In other words, a dental bone graft is
like a platform on which your own bone tissue can grow and regenerate.
