Bone Graft

Once a natural tooth is removed from jaw bone, the jaw bone will undergo resorption (shrinkage) in volume. When there is a plan to replace the extracted tooth with dental implant, then there’s some treatment strategies to help reduce the rate of jaw bone shrinkage in order to provide adequate bone volume to receive dental implant. This procedure is often NOT necessary if there’s no plans to replace the tooth nor a strategic value (such as wisdom tooth extractions, the furthest molar in the mouth).
