It is likely that you can undergo a bone grafting procedure to help build up the bone in your jaw to prepare you for dental implants.
Although a bone graft sounds as though it is a major procedure, it is actually relatively minor and is quite common. Making an incision into the gum to expose the part of the jawbone where a graft is required, the grafting material is placed into the bone. The incision is stitched closed, and the area is allowed to heal. During this time your jawbone creates new bone around the grafting material, helping to rebuild the bone.
