Understanding Bone Augmentation
Bone augmentation, or bone grafting, is a surgical procedure that adds volume and density to your jawbone. This treatment uses bone graft material to stimulate new bone growth, creating a solid base for dental implants or improving the overall structure of your jaw. Bone augmentation is crucial for patients who have experienced bone loss due to tooth loss, gum disease, or other factors.
