Little Jaw Bone? No problem.
Don't be discouraged if you have already been told there is no chance of a permanent smile because you lack jaw bone density.
Loss of jaw bone is one of the less talked about side effects of tooth loss. It is the main reason, as well as receding gum tissue, behind dentures coming loose. The majority of dentists view low jaw bone density as a barrier to placing dental implants as it is viewed to bear more risk on the dentist behalf, and they do not want the hassle of complex cases. This is usually to do with their level of expertise and experience. For example, at our clinics, our oral surgery specialist has been dealing with complex cases for over 30 years, so where a typical implantologist sees risk, our oral surgery specialist sees a patient that has a few hurdles, but they can be jumped over with ease. If you have been refused implant treatment by other dentists, come and see our team for a second opinion and a complimentary consultation.
For patients who do lack jaw bone density, a bone graft can be performed before placing your dental implants. This will bulk up the area where your implants need to be placed, using either your own bone tissue from other parts of your mouth, or a bone substitute. Whichever option is best suited, the new material will merge seamlessly into the jaw bone.
