The start of a new year often brings a renewed focus on health and wellbeing. Many of us set intentions to feel better, look after ourselves, and address things we’ve been meaning to for a while. From a dental point of view, the New Year is an ideal opportunity to reset habits and prioritise your oral health.
Bone loss can occur for a number of reasons, such as following a tooth extraction, through gum disease (periodontitis), or natural bone shrinkage over time. When the jawbone becomes too thin or too soft, it may not be able to securely support a dental implant or even maintain the natural structure of your face.
Bone grafting helps to rebuild lost bone, providing the strength and density needed for implant placement and long-term dental health.
