What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is an oral surgery performed to remedy defects in the jawbone. It is a form of reconstructive surgery that increases bone density by rebuilding bone in the jaw. Bone grafting procedures may correct defects present from birth, defects due to trauma, defects due to tumor removal, or bone recession due to tooth loss.
Benefits of Bone Grafting
- Rebuilding and fortifying a weak jaw bone
- Providing additional support for the teeth and gums
- Supporting dental implants and implant-supported bridges and dentures
- Maintaining the facial appearance
- Saving natural teeth

Infuse® Bone Morphogenic Protein
The Infuse® bone graft is a patented protein product (molecule) that stimulates the body’s cells to form new cartilage and bone. This liquid protein is sprayed on a spongy material that is placed in the area needing new bone. The Infuse® Bone Morphogenic protein procedure eliminates the need to harvest bone from another area of the body.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections harness the power of the body’s own remarkable growth factors (platelets) found in the plasma. Platelet-rich plasma injections are a regenerative treatment used in conjunction with bone grafts. PRP injections are used not only in oral surgeries, but to aid in recovery from orthopedic and sports injuries as well.
