Bone Grafting<\/h1>

After a tooth is lost, the jawbone around it gradually shrinks. A dental bone graft adds volume and density back to the jaw, acting as a scaffold your body uses to grow new bone of its own. Grafting is most often done to create a solid foundation for dental implants, and it is one of the most common procedures in oral surgery.<\/p>
