Bone Regeneration
(Bone Grafting)

Bone Grafting is when your periodontist surgically accesses an area where there is bone loss and replaces the missing bone with material from the patient's own body, an artificial, synthetic, or natural substitute. In order to reattach the root of the tooth to the new grafted bone material, the periodontist will remove all accumulated tartar and calculus thoroughly, which is called "scaling and planning". This will stimulate the new grafted bone for your body to regenerate and refill the bone loss area. The gum will then be sutured and closed.
