Dental Implants

Bone grafting is like adding more support to your jawbone for a dental implant or other fixes. It's a usual thing for dental procedures. They take a bit of bone from you, often from your mouth, and use it to build up the jaw. Sometimes, they use bone from a person who donated it (like from a bone bank), which is safe. It's a common and safe way to make sure your jaw can handle dental work. 

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth for good. Unlike bridges, they don't mess with your other teeth. 

Here's how it works: 

• A screw is placed in your jawbone. 
• Allow 3-6 months for it to heal. 
• During healing, you get temporary crowns so you can eat and talk normally. 
• Once healed, they put a base (abutment) on the screw. 
• Take an impression of the new tooth. 
• Make the permanent tooth in a lab. 
• Attach the new tooth. Your smile looks normal, and the implant feels just like your other teeth after a bit.
