Over
a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies
or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor
quality and quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants.
In these situations, most patients are not candidates for placement of
dental implants.
Today, we have the ability to grow bone where
needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of
proper length and width, it also gives us a chance to restore
functionality and aesthetic appearance.
