BONE GRAFTING
Bone grafting is a procedure that involves adding bone material to your jaw to support dental implants. It is commonly used when there is insufficient bone due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. At Regenerative Periodontics & Implants, we use advanced techniques to restore bone volume and density, ensuring the success of your implants.

Most patients can return to work in a few days, depending on the level of discomfort. Resting and following post-operative care instructions are essential for optimal healing.
Are there any risks associated with bone grafting?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, graft rejection, or failure to integrate with the jawbone. However, these risks are rare, and your oral surgeon will take steps to ensure the best possible outcome.
