Bone grafting in Mequon WI.

Restore bone for future dental treatment.

Bone grafting is where the jawbone is built up to accommodate a dental implant or to preserve the volume of bone where needed. Bone grafting is a common procedure that is used frequently for dental implants and other periodontal procedures. The bone used to graft is taken either from a sample from the patient or from a cadaver based bone bank. Bone grafting is often used in socket preservation procedures. Socket preservation is a dental procedure used to maintain the bone and gum structure after a tooth is removed. When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone may begin to shrink and lose volume, which can make future dental work like implants more challenging. When appropriate, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may also be used alongside bone grafting to support the body’s natural healing process and tissue regeneration.
