The donor bone may be taken from the patients or from an external source. If bone is harvested from the patient it will likely come from the hip or chin area.\u00a0 Artificial bones can also be created using ceramic materials.<\/p>\n<p>During the procedure, Dr. Peck will cut into your gum tissue to access the defective bone below the surface.\u00a0 Bone grafting material will be put into place and a membrane will be placed over it to aid it in healing and growing into your jaw.\u00a0 The gum tissue will then be replaced and secured with stitches.\u00a0\u00a0 It will take anywhere from 2-3 months for your bone grafting procedure to heal.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let a weak bone structure prevent you from receiving a beautiful new smile with dental implants.
