Grafting Soft Tissue and
Bone
When natural teeth are lost, some of the supporting bone
and gum tissue is lost as well. In order to achieve the best
esthetic and functional result, these tissues have to be replaced
as well as your tooth. Using artificial and natural sources,
this bone and soft tissue can be replaced by a number of grafting
procedures. These procedures are designed to provide a natural
shape and position to the restorations that you desire. Missing
soft tissue and bone around natural teeth can be grafted as
well, to return the tooth and gums to health.
