816-444-8822 A bone graft is a beneficial and successful treatment that involves restoring your jawbone with a piece of bone that was taken from another piece of your body or from a surgical-grade cadaver. This treatment is often needed when you need to place a dental implant but your bone is not strong or reliable enough to support it. Bone grafts can be beneficial in many ways, especially because:
-The bone graft can help heal fractures in the bone, even if the fracture is new or if the fracture has failed to heal after the first attempt at treatment.
-The bone graft can promote fusion between two bones.
-The bone graft can restore or regenerate bone in the area that was lost or disintegrated as a result of disease, trauma, or infection.
-The bone graft can enhance the healing response of the bone tissue that is surrounding surgically placed appliances, like dental implants.
As you can see, a bone graft is a beneficial treatment that can help you restore your oral health and give you the strong and sturdy smile you deserve.
