Dental Implants are terrific.  They are the most predictable and long lasting solution to tooth loss.  There needs to be enough bone for the implants to be placed however.

Bone grafting is essentially the building up of the jaw bone to accomodate dental implant placement.  There are different ways we can grow bone.  Options include bone grafted either from the patient or other donor, use of synthetic mineral, and human growth factors.  It is an exciting time for dental patients.
