What is a bone graft for dental implants?
A bone graft can create a more solid base for the dental implant. It may take several months for the transplanted bone to grow enough new bone to support a dental implant. In some cases, you may need only minor bone grafting, which can be done at the same time as the implant surgery. This procedure is not painful and very easy to do.
