What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure to replace missing bone with material either from a patient's own body or a natural or synthetic substitute. This procedure is performed with the goal of stimulating new bone formation in the body. It is typically performed to create enough bone to successfully place a dental implant, and nearly half of all dental implant cases require some bone grafting.
Over time, the bone in your body, including your mouth, naturally shrinks or resorbs depending on your health and age. Bone loss is even more likely if you have lost permanent teeth. Bone grafting is a safe, effective way to rebuild that bone in order to provide the best treatment option for you.
What about safety?
We only used the high quality bone grafting products available to ensure your safety. The products have undergone rigorous processing steps to make the risk of disease transmission extremely remote. The material adheres strictly to tissue banking standards set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) and the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA).
Sterilization is achieved through electron beam (e-beam) irradiation after packaging is complete to destroy any microorganisms without negative affecting the bioactivity of the bone grafting products.
