If you are considering dental implants, you must have a strong and dense enough jawbone to support your new restorations. However, when you are missing teeth, you rapidly begin to lose jawbone volume, decreasing your eligibility for implants. With a bone grafting procedure, Dr. Trovato can strengthen your bone structure using your own tissue or a substitute material. He can also perform ridge preservation by grafting tissue immediately after extraction to prevent future bone degeneration.
