Bone grafting plays a crucial role in restorative and implant dentistry, ensuring a strong foundation for dental implants and overall oral health.
If you are considering full mouth reconstruction, bone grafting may be the first step in your treatment plan.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, including digital X-rays and imaging, to assess the condition of your jawbone. We will determine the extent of bone loss and whether a graft is necessary for your desired treatment.

At Kidder Dental, we provide expert bone grafting services using state-of-the-art technology and advanced surgical techniques.
