Dental Bone Grafting
With dental bone grafting, we use surgical techniques to repair or rebuild bone by transferring bone tissue from one area to another. This procedure is essential for recreating the bone structure needed to support dental implants and other oral structures.
Dental Bone Grafting in Missouri City, TX
If you lack sufficient natural bone in your mouth to support dental implants, dental bone grafting might be necessary. There are several types of dental bone grafts available, and the most suitable option for you depends on the specific location and extent of the bone loss.
Dental bone grafts are a common and safe procedure, offering a long-term solution for individuals with periodontal disease, mouth injuries, or dental infections. This treatment not only restores the bone structure but also enhances the overall stability of dental implants and other restorations.
