Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is done after a tooth is removed to preserve the bone for a dental implant. It can also be done to help replace lost bone for dental implants. Bone grafting is only needed if dental implants are part of the overall treatment plan. At Southbridge Dentistry serving Littleton, CO, we use bone grafting to ensure a strong and healthy foundation for successful implant placement.
When is Bone Grafting Necessary?
Bone grafting is typically required when:
- A tooth has been removed and the surrounding bone needs preservation for future implant placement
- Bone loss has occurred due to trauma, infection, or long-term tooth loss
- Adequate bone volume is necessary to support a dental implant
Bone grafting is an important step only when dental implants are part of your overall treatment plan
