Bone Grafting For Dental Implants: Understanding The Possibility

For those who are missing one or more teeth, the cosmetic effect of a dental implant is almost unbeatable. Dental implants look and function the same as a regular tooth, and a successful implant is just about undetectable. 

 If you are considering implants, you must have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. If your bone is too thin or soft and unable to support an implant, you may require a bone graft. Or if there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw or the sinuses are too close to the jaw, you may require a sinus lift.

“A successful bone graft allows your jaw bone to be strong enough to support your dental implant” says Dr. Rodolfo Olvera who has many years of experience placing implants in patients that don’t have sufficient bone.  As a fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologist, he is fully qualified to do the surgical and restorative phases of your implant treatment in the comfort of his Keele & Finche dental office.

 Once the bone graft is complete, the rest of the implant surgery can proceed. As with any surgical procedure, it is important to discuss your personal medical history and all the risks and benefits of the surgery with Dr. Rodolfo Olvera. Once he has decided you are a good fit for the dental implant procedure, you can look forward to a brand new smile.
