If you’ve experienced bone loss in your jaw, bone grafting may be necessary to restore the foundation for future dental work, such as dental implants. At Chelsea Comprehensive Dental, we offer expert bone grafting to help strengthen and rebuild your jawbone.
Bone grafting is a procedure where bone material is added to your jaw to replace lost bone tissue. This graft helps regenerate the bone, restoring volume and density. The bone used in grafting can come from your body, a donor, or synthetic material designed to mimic natural bone.
Bone loss in the jaw often occurs after tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone underneath can begin to deteriorate because it no longer receives the stimulation from chewing. Over time, this can lead to significant bone loss, making it difficult to restore missing teeth without first rebuilding the bone.
