  Sometimes, when a dental treatment fails to heal or the tooth repair seems extremely complex, bone grafting maybe needed to be done.

  Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces the missing bone with material coming from the patient’s won body, an artificial,synthetic, or natural substitute. Dental implants requires a good base for it to be supported. However, if the patient has not had any tooth in that particular area for a long time, there might not be enough bone for the dentist to set the dental implants on.

  Therefore, the dentist may take bone from the chin or from the iliac crest of the pelvis and inserted into the area of the mouth.
