area where the jawbone is not strong, wide or high enough to support an implant predictably. It may be needed after tooth loss, infection, trauma, gum disease or long-term bone shrinkage. The purpose is to create a more stable foundation for implant placement.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n\n      <section>\n        <h2>Why bone grafting may be needed<\/h2>\n        <p>A dental implant needs enough bone around it for stability and long-term support. After a tooth is removed, the jawbone in that area can gradually shrink because it is no longer stimulated by the tooth root.<\/p>\n        <p>Bone grafting is not needed for every implant case, but it can be important when the bone is too thin, too low or irregular for safe implant placement.<\/p>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>What can lead to bone loss?<\/h2>\n        <ul>\n          <li>A tooth has been missing for a long time.<\/li>\n          <li>Previous infection around a tooth root.<\/li>\n          <li>Advanced gum disease and bone loss.<\/li>\n          <li>Trauma or fracture in the jaw area.<\/li>\n          <li>A difficult extraction that leaves a defect.<\/li>\n          <li>Sinus position in the upper jaw.<\/li>\n          <li>Natural anatomy with limited bone width or height.<\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>Bone grafting situations<\/h2>\n        <table>\n          <caption>This table explains common situations where bone grafting may be discussed before implants.<\/caption>\n          <thead>\n            <tr>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Situation<\/th>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Why grafting may help<\/th>\n              <th scope=\"col\">Possible timing<\/th>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/thead>\n          <tbody>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Thin jaw ridge<\/td>\n              <td>The implant may need more width of bone around it.<\/td>\n              <td>Before or sometimes during implant placement.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Bone loss after infection<\/td>\n              <td>The infected area may have left an irregular defect.<\/td>\n              <td>Usually after infection has been controlled.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Extraction site<\/td>\n              <td>A graft can help preserve or rebuild the socket area.<\/td>\n              <td>At extraction or after healing, depending on the case.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Upper back jaw<\/td>\n              <td>The sinus can limit available bone height.<\/td>\n              <td>A sinus lift or graft may be considered.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n            <tr>\n              <td>Aesthetic front tooth area<\/td>\n              <td>Bone shape affects gum contour and appearance.<\/td>\n              <td>Often planned carefully before final restoration.<\/td>\n            <\/tr>\n          <\/tbody>\n        <\/table>\n      <\/section>\n      <section>\n        <h2>What happens at Gloss &#038; Floss Dental Care\u00ae?<\/h2>\n        <p>At Gloss &#038; Floss Dental Care\u00ae in Stockholm, we assess the missing tooth area, gum condition, bone volume and bite before planning implant treatment.
