Regenerative Bone Treatment
In cases where there is insufficient bone for implantation, and where zygomatic implants and/or sinus lifts are not appropriate, we can offer a block bone graft procedure. For this, we remove a small block of bone from the back of the jaw (where the wisdom teeth would be) or the chin and transfer it to the proposed implant site, making the bone volume enough to place a dental implant. There is usually a three to six month waiting period to ensure that the patient is fully healed before placing the implant.
