A Dentist Explains How Dental Implants and Bone Grafts Relate
If you’re missing one tooth, several teeth or an entire arch, you’ve probably considered what your options were for replacing them at some point. While bridges and dentures work to replace the visible portions of teeth and offer some function, dental implants take tooth replacement to the next level. Instead of only replacing the crown, they work to replace the entire root, offering a larger range of functions for individuals.
However, sometimes there isn’t quite enough bone available for implants to be placed. Therefore a bone graft is needed.
