Bone GraftingWhen a tooth is removed there are many changes which occur over a period of time. The jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or shrinks. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone not suitable for the placement of dental implants. Today we can grow bone where we need it. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width but it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetic appearance. |
