Bone Grafting in Kingman

Tooth loss from various dental conditions may cause the jaw bone to weaken, and the resulting bone loss will lessen the possibility of the patient being able to support a dental implant or other dental appliance. In such a case, a procedure called bone grafting is often used to add bone to the jaw. Bone is placed in the jaw bone to increase its mass.

Once the bone fuses to the jaw bone, a dental implant can be placed, with greater chances for success. Bone grafting is also used to improve bone deterioration caused by dentures, oral cancer, dental deformities or a tooth extraction.

(This procedure is usually done at the time of a tooth extraction and will take about 30min)
