Bone grafting is a procedure to restore lost bone due to periodontitis, long-term tooth loss, injury or bone loss due to the use of dentures.

This technique is also utilized to increase bone density for dental implant placement because the ability to support the implants is highly dependent on bone density.

There are two types of bone grafts:

Autografts: Bone is taken directly from another part of the patient and grafts into the bone loss area. This type of bone graft usually has a foreseeable successful result because the materials are already an active component of the patient's body.

Alloplastic grafts: Is a type of bone graft that used artificial materials, grafting into the implant area. This type of bone graft is also very safe and effective.

During a bone graft procedure, if necessary, a membrane is also grafted at the same time. The membrane is a special material that covered the grafted bone, ensuring that this bone grows normally. This membrane can also be removed after a period of time or dissolve by itself if the doctor used the dissolvable membrane.
