A bone block graft specifically uses bone material from your jaw or chin.
Block grafts differ from bone defect correction as dentists normally perform block grafts when severe jawbone deterioration has occurred.
Why would I need a block graft?
Long-term denture users may need a block graft or someone who has lost a tooth a long time ago and never had it replaced, which has adversely affected the jawbone’s length and thickness. Getting a block graft allows implants to be used for implant-retained dentures, implant-retained bridges, or single tooth implants.
If someone told you that your jaw or mouth doesn’t have enough bone for certain dental procedures like implant-retained dentures, the Woodbury Park Dental Surgery may be able to help.
We use the latest bone graft and bone defect correction techniques to help patients who may have been told in the past by another practice that their mouths could not sustain an implant.
