What to expect during Bone Grafting surgery?

Before you can get a bone graft or dental implant, it is necessary to remove gum disease. This may be a simple application of antibiotics, and/or deep cleaning (also called scaling and root planing). In more serious cases of periodontal disease, you may also need to have surgery to clean out the pockets and to fasten the gums up tight against the teeth to keep the bacteria out.
