Bone Grafting
In Tarzana
Strengthen Your Jaw for a Healthy Smile
Bone grafting restores and strengthens areas of the jaw that lack sufficient bone. It helps maintain jaw strength, supports facial structure, and prepares the mouth for future dental procedures such as implants or dentures
What Is a Bon Grafting
Bone grafting adds bone material to areas where your jaw has lost volume. This can happen after a tooth extraction, injury, or long-term missing teeth. The graft helps your body grow new bone, supporting your oral health, preserving your smile, and preventing teeth from shifting. Bone grafts are commonly used to:
Preserve bone after a tooth extraction (socket preservation)
Prepare the jaw for dental implants
Restore lost bone from gum disease or injury
