Dental Bone Grafting in Baltimore, MD
Dental bone grafting becomes necessary when there is a lack of natural bone in the mouth to support dental implants. This deficiency can be caused by:

- gum disease
- facial injury or trauma
- empty space after teeth are removed
There are various types of dental bone grafts, and the best solution depends on the extent of damage that needs to be repaired and the location of the missing tooth. Dental bone grafts are considered a standard, safe procedure that provides a long-term solution for individuals who have lost teeth due to periodontal disease, injury, or any other type of dental or mouth infection.
