Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a common procedure that is used frequently for dental implants. The bone used to graft is taken from a sample from the patient. Many times, the bone is taken from another area of the mouth when drilling takes place. The bone fragments are suctioned from the mouth and used for the graft. Sterilized cadaver bone fragments are also used. They are harvested by bone banks and are a very safe source for bone donation.
