Dental implant surgery is one of the cornerstones of periodontal care, offering patients who have lost permanent (adult) teeth the opportunity to restore and rejuvenate their smile. However, in order to successfully place an oral implant, patients must possess enough bone tissue remaining so as to secure its connection to the jaw bone and allow an implant to successfully connect. For individuals without sufficient bone density remaining augmentation is an integral step that ensures jaws can accept an implant for successful implantation and restoration of dental structure.

With modern advances, your provider can select a bone grafting technique that safely rebuilds bone structure while creating enough space to accommodate dental implants if required.
