Bone Grafting: How It Works, Explained Simply

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it can shrink over time. Without a root to support it, the bone gradually thins and narrows. A bone graft adds grafting material to the area that needs rebuilding. The material acts as a scaffold for the body's own bone to grow into. Over several months, new bone slowly fills in and strengthens the area. This rebuilds enough bone to support a future dental implant. The result is a firmer, thicker foundation in the jaw. This video is for general education only. It is not medical or dental advice. Ask your dentist what's right for you.
