Bone Replacement Graft in Brooklyn, NY

Missing teeth over time can cause your jawbone to atrophy, or resorb. This often results in poor-quality, insufficient bone suitable for dental implant placement, as well as long-term shifting of remaining teeth and changes to the facial profile. In the past, many patients in these situations were not candidates for dental implants.

Fortunately, through new advances in dentistry and surgery, we can now grow bone where needed. This not only allows us to place implants of the proper length and width, but also to restore function and aesthetic appearance. Bone grafts are also performed to reestablish lost jawbone due to trauma, periodontal disease, or an infection or abscess.

While bone grafting may sound scary, it is a very routine, predictable, and painless procedure.
