What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is a process during which Dr. Leslie Sultan can rebuild the bone of the jaw using donated bone or manmade alternatives. This helps in preparing the jawbone for the placement of dental implants when tooth loss has occurred. Bone grafting can take time to occur, as new bone has to be solidified with the natural bone before placing a dental implant into the jaw. The dental implant will also help in maintaining the bone of the jaw unlike alternative treatments that can contribute to bone resorption. After the bone grafting has provided a sufficient foundation to safely place an implant, patients can move forward with their procedure to restore the function, beauty, and health of the smile following tooth loss.
