BONE GRAFT

Utilized to build up new bone in areas of your jaw that used to hold teeth, we use Bone Grafting. A small incision is made in your gum to expose bone beneath it, grafting material is then added. Most often, the grafting material is processed bone that serves as a scaffold, around which your body will actually deposit new bone cells. Grafting material used will eventually be absorbed by your body and replaced by your own new bone. The grafting material needed can be obtained from a variety of sources, at times it may come from your own body, or in some instances it is bone from an animal or human donor that is processed by a laboratory to make it sterile and safe to use in your body. Grafting material can also be synthetic and comes in a variety of presentations such as : powder, granules, putty or even a gel that can be injected into the needed area through a syringe.

This mixed with your own plasma turns into sticky bone, Dr. Vazquez uses this technique to place implants in areas of your body that may or may not have enough bone
