Do I Need Bone Graft for Dental Implants?
A bone graft may be necessary in certain cases before a dental implant procedure. The need for a bone graft is typically associated with insufficient bone volume in the jaw at the intended implant site. Here are some common reasons why a bone graft might be required before placing a dental implant:
Insufficient bone volume, infected space where tooth was extracted, a long time from tooth extraction, a very aggressive extraction.
