Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to restore bone that has been lost due to trauma, disease, or conditions like gum recession. This procedure is commonly used in dentistry, especially when a patient is in need of dental implants but does not have enough healthy bone in the jaw to support the implant. Bone grafting involves transplanting bone tissue to the affected area, where it integrates with the natural bone and helps create a stronger foundation for implants or other dental work. The grafted material is carefully selected to ensure compatibility and promote healing, which is crucial for the success of the procedure. Over time, the grafted bone fuses with the existing bone, creating a stable base for future dental work.
