Bone grafting is a minor surgical procedure aimed at repairing and regenerating bones, commonly performed when there's insufficient bone to anchor dental implants to the jaw. This is a common procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery done to establish a sturdy foundation for your new dental implant.
At SameDay Dental Clinic, we offer various types of bone grafts, each differing in composition. Autograft involves transplanting bone from one part of the body to another, requiring two surgical sites. Allograft utilizes bone from a human donor which is processed in a laboratory. Xenograft involves using bone from animals for grafting purposes. Lastly, alloplast uses synthetic material for bone grafting.
