What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is a specialized procedure used to enhance jawbone density and prepare for further dental work, such as implants. At Cupertino Oral & Facial Surgery, we use state-of-the-art techniques to ensure successful outcomes for our patients.
Why you might need bone grafting
Patients may require a bone graft for several reasons, including:
- Preparation for dental implants when the jawbone is not thick enough.
- Recovery from trauma or infection that has caused bone loss.
- Dental deformities that require bone structure modification for aesthetic or functional improvement.
Types of bone grafts offered in Cupertino
We provide several types of bone grafts tailored to meet individual patient needs:
- Autografts: Bone taken from the patient’s own body.
- Allografts: Processed bone obtained from a human donor.
