The Process of Bone Grafting

The process of bone grafting at smile dental arts centre in Markham begins with an evaluation of the patient’s oral health and overall bone structure.

The bone graft material which can come from the patient’s own body or a donor or even from a synthetic source, is carefully placed in the site. This material helps the patient’s body to generate new cells and eventually integrate the graft with the tissue that is surrounded by the bone tissue.

For the first few days, patients may experience swelling bruising or some discomfort around the graft area.
