I have been trying to research a specific type of bone graft. Its not the kind you would get when you have an extraction done.
Say, you had back teeth pulled years ago and now the ridge is not big enough to support an implant. What is the bone graft called where they cut your gums open and do a bone graft?
To be more specific I had all of my back teeth on the lower left side pulled about 5 years ago. Recently I have been getting all of my dental work done. My dentist said that I would need a bone graft done in order to get implants done on those back teeth.
He wants me to go have a CT scan done at a radiologist. I have been trying to research thjis type of bone graft but I do not know what it is called.
Any help is appreciated.
