What does it mean when you need a bone graft with your dental implant?
You will typically need a bone graft when getting a dental implant if the implant site does not have enough bone volume to support the appropriate sized implant. Bone loss can be the result from periodontal disease, injuries, cysts, infections or an extracted tooth. Normally, it can be determined if you will need a bone graft from your x-ray prior to surgery, but in some cases it is not discovered until opening the implant site.
The bone graft is very safe and effective in the dental implant restoration. Once it is placed, it will help replace missing bone, stimulate bone formation and increase bone volume
