Preventing Tooth Loss
Bone grafting is a common procedure used to strengthen the jawbone for supporting dental implants or other restorative devices. It involves transplanting bone tissue to areas with significant bone loss, often due to periodontal disease or trauma. This helps stabilize loose teeth and promotes new bone growth, enhancing the tooth's foundation. The procedure, typically done under local anesthesia, may involve using bone from the patient or sterilized cadaver bone fragments from bone banks. While it may cause mild discomfort and swelling, bone grafting is essential for preventing further tooth loss and improving overall dental health. Consult with a dental professional to determine if it's suitable for you.

Following a tooth extraction, your dentist will insert a bone graft into the empty socket to prevent any potential bone loss in the future.
