Bone grafting is a fantastic solution that is available in modern dentistry to replace diseased/missing bone that help hold teeth into place. The bone can be harvested from another part of your body or a donor. Bone grafting is used to strengthen your jawbone in areas where there is a defect, and also to prepare a recent dental extraction site for dental implant placement. Bone grafting is usually recommended with any extraction in order to preserve the tooth socket for years to come.
