The bone around the tooth may be smoothed and the gum re-positioned to reduce the open spaces so that it fits more tightly around the tooth.

The graft then serves as a base for your own normal bone growth.

It uses a mesh-like fabric onto which cells can grow. The new tissue then helps to support teeth.

The reshaped bone makes it harder for bacteria to grow in the spaces.
