When a jawbone is missing teeth, the bone associated with those teeth is resorbed with time and can pose difficulties when placing dental implants. Today, we can replace and grow bone in anticipation for dental implant placement or jawbone replacement.

Bone grafting is most commonly obtained from a tissue bank. In more severe cases the bone may be obtained by using your own bone from your jaw, hip, or tibia.
