If you have insufficient jawbone density, it’s unlikely that you can undergo dental implant treatment without a supplemental procedure. Patients who need to increase the amount of bone in their jaws will need to receive a preliminary procedure, such as bone grafting, in order to have successful dental implant surgery.
Without it, you face a significantly higher risk of implant failure, infection, or possibly even tooth loss. To determine your dental implant eligibility, call our Huntingburg office at (812) 638-2006 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Troutman.
