Book OnlineWhy bone matters
Your jawbone stays strong because tooth roots stimulate it every time you chew. When a tooth is lost or removed, the bone in that area can slowly shrink.
A bone graft adds supportive material where bone is thin or missing. Over time your body uses it as a framework to grow new bone, making future options like implants possible.
Right after a tooth extraction to preserve the site
Before a dental implant when bone is too thin
After bone loss from gum disease
To support a more stable bridge or denture
Common questions
