Dental implant surgery replaces the root area of the tooth with metal, screw-like posts. These posts are installed into the jawbone, where they provide a strong base for an artificial tooth, known as a crown. This surgery can be performed in several steps depending upon the kind of implant you’re getting and the health of your jawbone.

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone with material from the patient′s own body, an artificial, synthetic, or natural substitute. Bone grafting is possible because bone tissue has the ability to regenerate completely if provided the space into which it has to grow. As natural bone grows, it generally replaces the graft material completely, resulting in a fully integrated region of new bone.

Bone grafts are used as a filler and scaffold to facilitate bone formation and promote wound healing. These grafts are bioresorbable and have no antigen-antibody reaction. These bone grafts act as a mineral reservoir that induces new bone formation.
