Patient guide
A bone graft rebuilds the jawbone where there is too little volume to hold an implant securely — after tooth loss, gum disease or injury. The graft heals and integrates over several months, and the implant is placed once the new bone is ready. This guide explains each step and how to look after the grafted area.

You receive your treatment plan and its price in writing within 6 hours, with the number of visits and how long each stay is.
