Bone Grafting
Bone Grafting (Onlay Bone Grafting)
When teeth are lost the bone holding them in place dissolves away.
The more the loss of bone the less bone there is in which to place the implants.
When there is not enough bone present, bone may be grown to fill in missing bone-allowing implants to be fitted. This is known as bone grafting. The bone used may be specially treated from a bone bank.
