Periodontal bony defects can be corrected with the help of regenerative materials and procedures. This is one of the most exciting areas of periodontology today with more choices than ever before of grafting materials. Often, osseous (or bone) grafting will precede dental restorations such as crowns or bridges as well as dental implant placements. In some cases, grafting will assist a tooth that has a poor prognosis by providing it with a greater degree of stability thus ensuring an improved long-term prognosis. In our practice, osseous grafting is a service that is provided in a custom fashion that is right for you.
