What is onlay grafting (autograft)?
There are many ways in which bone can be added to, however one simple concept is to take a piece of bone from somewhere else, such as the chin, and secure it as an onlay graft to a deficient area. The new piece of bone will slowly join to the underlying region and when healed and mature, an implant can be placed in a more favourable position. John Grummit can carry out this procedure if necessary.
