Bone grafting is where the jawbone is built up to accommodate a dental implant or other restorative device. Bone grafting is a common procedure that is used frequently for dental implants and other periodontal procedures. 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. Cadaver bone fragments are also used. They are harvested by bone banks and are a very safe source for bone donation.

What Our Patients Say

I could not recommend this office enough. They are genuinely caring people who treat you like family. I was in severe pain and they got me right in and then in to a specialist the same day.

I have always like Thompson Dental but today they went above and beyond to squeeze me in for a quick cosmetic procedure. I am very appreciative and grateful my tooth is repaired before the weekend.
