Here is why: Your jawbone relies on constant stimulation from your natural tooth roots to stay strong and healthy. When a tooth is lost or extracted, that vital stimulation stops. Without it, the body begins to absorb that "unused" bone, causing it to shrink or atrophy.
But there is an amazing solution! At Burbank Periodontics, we can stop bone loss in its tracks with a Bone Grafting procedure. 🛠️✨
How it works & the benefits: Instead of just filling a hole, a bone graft acts as a structural scaffold. Placing specialized grafting material in the area of the missing tooth triggers your body’s incredible natural healing process! Over the next few months, your body works to replace the graft, generating healthy, strong new bone tissue right where you need it most.
The result?
✅ We prevent unwanted facial sagging.
✅ We rebuild a solid, secure foundation for future dental implants. (And in many cases, our specialists can even place the implant on the exact same day as your graft to cut down your timeline!)
Missing a tooth? Our board-certified periodontist can help your body heal and rebuild your foundation.
