Bone grafting to supplement jaw structure is a fairly straightforward process. In people who have deterioration in the structure of their jaw, bone grafts are used to reinforce the jaw and actually improve the health of the surrounding bone. The graft basically shows your body where there should be natural bone, prompting the bone to heal around it. It’s actually a fairly common procedure we perform on patients both old and young. Older people may need dental bone grafting to combat jaw deterioration, while a teenager may need it because of a recent wisdom teeth removal. Talk to your Cincinnati oral surgeon about why you may need this procedure to restore your smile.
