Process
Initial Assessment: A thorough exam and digital X-rays are taken to evaluate bone levels and determine the best type of graft for your needs.
Grafting Procedure: The grafting material is carefully placed where bone is deficient, encouraging natural regeneration and growth. Sedation options are available for your comfort throughout the procedure.
Healing Period: Over the following months, the graft fuses with your natural bone, creating a strong, stable foundation for future implants or to support surrounding teeth.
