Bone Grafting
Lost bone doesn’t have to mean lost options. Grafting rebuilds the foundation your implant needs.
Rebuilding What Time Took Away
When a tooth has been missing for a while, the bone beneath it gradually shrinks. That can make implant placement tricky, but it doesn’t take it off the table.
Bone grafting adds bone material to the area, giving your jaw time to rebuild before an implant is placed. Dr. Daniel Dafo performs bone grafts right here, often at the same appointment as a tooth extraction to preserve bone from day one.
