Dental Bone Grafting in Harriman, NY
Dental bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds or strengthens the jawbone where it has been lost due to missing teeth, gum disease, or injury. During treatment, your dentist or oral surgeon places biocompatible material (often natural or synthetic) into the area to encourage new bone growth. Over time, your body integrates the graft, creating a stable foundation. Bone grafting is commonly used to prepare for dental implants, support surrounding teeth, and restore facial structure. It can improve oral health, function, and appearance.
With modern techniques, the process is safe, predictable, and tailored to your needs. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and recovery.
