What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a highly effective procedure used to correct issues related to bone loss or deficiencies. It involves transferring bone tissue to an area that has experienced bone loss, thereby promoting new bone growth and restoring the structural integrity of the jawbone. This is particularly important for patients preparing for dental implants, as sufficient bone material is needed to support the implant.
