Having healthy jawbones and healthy gums are both essential for dental implant success. If you’ve experienced bone or gum loss as a result of periodontal disease or missing teeth, a bone or gum (tissue) graft may be a necessary part of your treatment plan to support the placement of dental implants.

What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is a procedure that stabilizes or replaces bone that may have been lost because of missing teeth, gum disease or other reasons. Because the bone helps to support the teeth and hold them in place, bone grafting can help provide a solid foundation for new dental implants.
What is gum (tissue) grafting?
Gum (tissue) grafting is a procedure that replaces gum tissue that may have been lost due to gum disease or other reasons. Generally, the procedure involves taking healthy gum tissue from one area of the mouth and placing it over the area in need.
