Dental implants usually need a minimum of 1 to 2 mm of jawbone density for successful placement. The more time that passes with missing teeth, the more jawbone density tends to decline.
This is why it’s so important to contact us as soon as possible after experiencing tooth loss or damage. We’ll be able to measure the health of your jawbone and help support your candidacy for dental implants.
If your jawbone isn’t found to be sufficiently dense, supplemental procedures are available to strengthen and prepare your jaw for dental implants.
