plays a crucial role in successful oral surgeries. ๐
When your jawbone is too weak or thin to support implants, a bone graft can help restore its strength and structure.
This procedure involves placing bone material into the jaw to stimulate new bone growth, which supports implants and other dental treatments. ๐ฆทโจ
