Additionally, a weakening jawbone can lead to other oral health issues such as misalignment, reduced bite force, tooth loss, and infection.
Rest assured that Dr. Nishime is highly trained and will evaluate your candidacy by providing a thorough examination, reviewing your medical history, and taking other vital safety steps before going forward with any surgical procedure.
