You have a fracture that hasn't healed properly

You're preparing for dental implants with bone loss in the jaw

You have bone defects following injury, surgery, or infection

You're undergoing spinal or reconstructive surgery, needing bone support

 Do's:

Follow your surgeon's instructions carefully

Eat a calcium-rich, balanced diet to promote healing

Keep the surgical area clean and protected

Attend all follow-up visits and imaging reviews

Use prescribed medications for pain or infection prevention

 Don'ts:

Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they slow healing
