Jawbones that are missing teeth are susceptible to reabsorption and atrophy, leading to decreased bone quality and potentially rendering the bone unsuitable for dental implants. Bone grafting
procedures can restore strength and functionality to all commonly affected areas the jawbone, including the sinuses and ridge, resulting in improved everyday performance and creating an area that is healthy enough for new implants. The San Diego Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
uses application of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
during the process to strengthen the bone and allow the area to heal quickly and efficiently.
