A lost tooth also means a lost root. Without the pressure that root exerts on your jaw, you will begin to lose bone tissue over time. Advanced gum disease can also play a role on this process, which is also known as resorption. At Dental Clinic of Marshfield, our dentists can see you for an appointment for bone grafting in Marshfield or Stratford, Wisconsin, and you can call for more information and to schedule your visit.
