Bone grafting can help restore the structure, strength, and appearance of your smile in situations where bone loss has occured.
Your jawbone’s main function is to act as a foundation that supports your teeth. But when you lose a tooth the bone is no longer needed for support so it will slowly start to go away- a process known as resorption.
To repair your smile and restore the health of your teeth with a dental implant or with dentures, sometimes you will need to rebuild the foundation. Guided Bone Regeneration, aka bone grafting, is a procedure to do just that.
Through this, we can restore bone in spaces not occupied by teeth. Our team will help create a strong foundation to support your new smile.
A damaged tooth may not only be painful but may also leave you vulnerable to developing more serious oral health problems. If you are in need of a dental crown, contact Cornerstone Dental Arts – Fort Sanders West in Knoxville, TN, to schedule an appointment.
