Bone Grafting

Today, bone grafting procedures have become an integral part of implant reconstruction. In many instances, a potential implant site in the upper or lower jaw does not offer enough bone volume or quantity to accommodate an implant of proper size or in the proper place. This is usually a result of bone resorption that has taken place since one or more teeth (if not all) were lost or extracted. Bone grafting procedures usually try to re-establish bone dimension, which was lost due to resorption.
