This resorption of bone tissue causes a number of complications for future implants, prosthetics, and general aesthetics, because in resorbing the bone height recedes so much it can change facial features and prevent effective restorative dentistry. As a result, many dentists prefer to proactively stunt this resorption by using a bone graft as covered in dental procedure code D7953.
