Dental Bone Grafts Explained
By Regency Dental Group Includes video
Let's talk about dental bone grafts... why you would need one, what they are made of (spoiler: oftentimes from cow cadaver), and everything about the grafting procedure and recovery!!!
A dental bone graft is when your dentist places real or synthetic bone particles inside or next to your existing bone tissues. The graft helps to re-build the bone density in that specific area, making your jaw stronger and thicker. That way, there’s a stable enough foundation to securely anchor a tooth, dental implant, or even a set of dentures.
