What is Bone Grafting?
Through bone grafting near you, dentists replace missing bone in a person’s jaw. It is a dental procedure. When you lose some of your bone, placing the dental implants becomes a problem. Bone grafting stimulates new bone tissue growth in your jaw. It makes it easier for your dental implant to bond and succeed.
At our dental implant centre in Kelowna, a small amount of bone grafting material (natural or synthetic) is placed in the area. Over time, your body naturally replaces bone that your implant is preventing from dissolving, which makes it stronger.
Bone grafting in Kelowna is often recommended for patients who:
- Have been missing teeth for a long time
- Suffer from gum disease or jawbone deterioration.
- Need added bone support before implant placement.
