placed into areas of lost bone. These grafts act as a platform on which
bone can regrow, restoring stability to your teeth.
Guided

enables bone and tissue to regrow around an
endangered tooth or if the tooth is lost, to increase the amount of
bone for implant placement.

in are on a
where gums have receded. Grafted tissue, usually taken from the roof of
your mouth, is sutured in place over the affected area.
