What are bone grafts and why would I need one?
The ability to place a dental implant depends on having available bone. Certain areas of the mouth tend to have less bone and placing an implant would infringe on nerves or sinuses. These areas can be augmented with various materials to stimulate natural bone growth. These materials are placed under the gums and allowed to heal for a number of months. Then, the site is ready to have an implant placed.
