Gum and Bone Grafts
Soft tissue grafts are recommended to either prevent or correct root recession. Some grafts are performed to “thicken” the tissue around teeth so that root exposure does not occur. Other grafts are performed to cover exposed roots.
Bone grafts are sometimes required prior to implant placement if the bone is insufficient. Bone grafts may also be used to correct defects around implants or teeth. Human or cow donor bone is typically used. Please contact us for more information regarding bone grafting.
