One of the problems that comes with a missing tooth is the loss of mass in the jawbone. The pressure on your tooth root from biting and chewing helps keep your jaw strong and once that tooth is gone, your jaw can begin to deteriorate or resorb. If this is the case for you, our dentist may want to see you for an appointment for a bone graft in Afton, Wyoming. For more information, call Afton Family Dental at 307-885-4337 and plan your visit with Dr. Corey Christensen.
