Dental Bone Grafting in Milton, FL
Dental bone grafting is a procedure that helps rebuild or strengthen the jawbone when bone has been lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, injury, or other dental conditions. During treatment, your dentist places bone graft material in the area that needs additional support. Over time, your body naturally integrates the graft, creating a stronger, healthier foundation. Bone grafting is often recommended before dental implants and can also help preserve facial structure and support long-term oral health.
