What are the benefits of bone grafting?

A bone graft is often recommended in the case of tooth loss. When a tooth is lost, the bone in the jaw where the tooth was located no longer receives stimulation. This can cause the bone to deteriorate and become weaker over time. Bone grafting rebuilds the bone in the jaw so the patient can regain the full function of their mouth.
