For patients with more advanced bone loss, complex bone augmentation can rebuild the jawbone and create the necessary support for dental implants. This treatment may be more involved than simple augmentation but provides excellent, long-lasting results.
Here’s how it works:
- A larger area of missing bone is rebuilt using grafting techniques.
- The grafted bone integrates with your own bone over time.
- Once healed, implants can be securely placed.
This type of procedure may require longer healing times, but it can transform your options if you have been told implants were not possible.
Life Benefits:
- Restores bone volume for implant placement.
- Makes it possible to have implants even after advanced bone loss.
- Improves facial structure and support.
