Bone Grafting
Rebuilding jawbone for implants and function
Missing teeth over a period of time can cause your jawbone to atrophy, or resorb. This often results in poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for dental implants, along with shifting of the remaining teeth and changes to facial structure. In these situations, many patients are told they are not candidates for implants.
Growing bone where it is needed
Fortunately, today we have the ability to grow bone where it is needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, it also lets us restore function and appearance. Dr. Loving performs both major and minor bone grafting, and can combine grafting with implant placement to complete your care in one practice.
