What is Distraction Osteogenesis?
The term distraction osteogenesis is a treatment method that works by slowly moving two bony segments apart to create a space or gap that a new bone is then allowed to fill. This type of procedure can typically be performed on an outpatient basis. Most patients are able to go home the very same day that they are treated.
Insurance Coverage
If there is proper documentation of a patient’s condition, typically dental insurance companies will cover the cost of treatment. However, every policy is different and our team can work with your insurance to help you understand your coverage and financial options.
