A bone graft is a surgical technique that involves the addition of bone or bone-like materials to the jawbone in order to strengthen it and provide an adequate foundation for a dental implant. It is usually done when the jawbone begins to lose density or volume as a result of loss of teeth, gum disease, or trauma. A bone graft is not usually needed following tooth extraction; however, it may be needed in some circumstances. These situations include the following: conserving bone structure, preventing additional bone loss, implant placement, supporting prostheses, and improving aesthetics.
