The jawbone requires constant stimulation from tooth roots to maintain its density and structure. When teeth are lost due to injury, disease, or extraction, this stimulation disappears, leading to bone resorption. This bone loss can make placing dental implants challenging or even impossible without additional support. That's where bone grafting at Merrifield Oral Surgery comes in β a proven procedure that rebuilds and strengthens the jawbone to create the ideal foundation for successful implant placement. If you've been told you need a bone graft before dental implants, Dr. Pham, Dr. Coviello and Dr. Starley can help. Call us: (703) 639-0027
