Bone graft failures are extremely rare. The goal of a bone graft is to promote the body’s ability to regenerate more bone tissue in the jaw. If the body fails to build up the jawbone, the bone graft is said to have failed.
There are various reasons the body may fail to create more bone, including:
Age
Type of graft used
Overall health
The upside is that we can always try again. Bone grafting isn’t for everyone, but when the procedure is carried out by trusted oral surgeons like Drs. Snyder and Dugan, you can be certain they’ll make sure you’re a good candidate prior to the procedure.
