Bone grafting
A minor surgical procedure that helps restore the structure and function of tooth-supporting tissues. The bone graft material typically consists of processed bone minerals that help your body create new bone cells over time. Reasons for bone loss include:
• Following tooth extraction studies show horizontal bone loss of 29-63% and vertical bone loss of 11-22% after only 6 months. These studies demonstrated rapid reductions in the first 3-6 months that was followed by gradual reductions in dimensions thereafter.
• A side effect of untreated periodontal disease.
