A bone graft is a surgical procedure that replaces or rebuilds missing bone in the mouth, especially before implants are placed.

- After tooth loss, the bone that supported the teeth can resorb and lose volume over time.
- It rebuilds the bone so that dental implants can be placed.
- It repairs bone damaged by periodontal disease.
- It can correct a deformed or misaligned jaw.
The graft may use the patient’s own bone, donor bone, a synthetic substitute, or a mix of bone and synthetic materials.
