A lost tooth can do more than create an embarrassing space in your smile. It can also cause a loss of bone tissue in your jaw. The health of your jawbone can also be compromised through gum disease. Our periodontist, Dr. Samuel Korkis, may suggest a bone graft in Troy, Michigan, to restore the health of your jaw or even prepare you for a dental implant. If you live with gum disease or an incomplete smile, contact our team at (248) 267-8900 for your appointment.
