Bone grafting is the process of rebuilding bone where deterioration has occurred. Through the implantation of donor’s bone into the jaw, Dr. Kooner encourages the body to grow new bone on its own. This procedure is usually done to prepare the jaw for a dental implant.

The grafting is recommended to be completed during the tooth extraction procedure. After removing the damaged tooth, bone graft material is placed into the site to encourage your body to rebuild the site with enough bone for the placement of an implant in the future. Dr. Kooner will cover the extraction site and hold the covering down with stitches to allow for healing.
