Bone Grafting

Livingston & Clark NJ Bone Grafting

Based on the pattern of bone loss around teeth as a result of gum disease, regeneration of some or all of the lost bone can be accomplished by bone grafting. A variety of materials and techniques have been developed to stimulate growth in the remaining bone. This process is often performed in conjunction with flap and osseous surgery.
