Bone Grafting Services » Oral Surgery » Bone Grafting One service offered by our Rocklin, CA oral surgeons is bone tissue grafting to encourage regeneration. Oral bone grafts applied to the jaw are usually required when significant gum recession has taken place. That is because as gum tissue recedes the bone beneath it experiences resorption, or degeneration, which compromises the basic strength of the jaw. To perform the graft the gums in the affected area are first opened to expose the receding bone. Then a small piece of bone is taken from another area of the body (preferably the back of the jaw or chin) and attached into place with titanium screws. The new bone provides benefits such as increased structural support for restorations, prevention of further bone resorption, and overall increased strength of the jaw bone. If you have experienced gum recession, then consider contacting Rocklin Dental Team to find an oral surgeon in Rocklin, Roseville, or Lincoln.
