Bone Grafting
In a bone graft procedure, the doctor will take special bone grafting material and apply the graft it into your jaw bone. Bone grafts are used as a filler and scaffold to facilitate bone formation and promote wound healing. Bone grafts can be used to augment or preserve the bony dimension of a site such as after an extraction procedure or grafted during implant placement. These bone grafts act as a mineral reservoir which induces new bone formation.
