A dental bone graft is a minor procedure that replace missing bone from your jaw where support and stability is need for good dental structure.
When do you need a Bone Graft?
When a tooth is gone the support-bone that used to surround that tooth begins to reabsorbs. Therefore, that area becomes unstable and complicates the possibility to rehabilitate the zone. However, if we do bone grafting in the area, by adding more density to the bone we can place a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.
Also, bone graft may be necessary to give support to the jaw when teeth loss and gum disease has led to a significant bone lost. Giving the jaw the proper stabilization can improve future complication that can come along bone lost and can also prevent more bone loss.

The implant specialist from Advanced Smiles Dentistry work with 3 types of bone graft.
- Allograft: bone particles that come from a cadaver

- Synthetic: artificial biomaterials that mimics the bone graft.
