How Can I Get Treated With Dental Implants If I Have Low Jawbone Density?

People who have low jawbone density can often still be treated with dental implants through a technique known as bone grafting. A bone grafting procedure involves the dental office taking bone graft material and grafting it onto the area(s) of the patient's jawbone where they have low density. The bone graft material will then fuse with the patient's existing bone, in a process called osseointegration, creating a more solid base for the dental implant post to be placed in.

If people are missing just a small amount of jawbone density, then the dental office may be able to strategically place the dental implant post at the angle and depth in their jaw where there is enough bone density to support it. No matter if people with low jawbone density need bone grafting procedures or their dental implant post accurately placed, a dedicated dental office can help people get the dental implants they need and deserve to transform their smile.

Once the dental implant post has been precisely placed in the patient's jawbone, and it has fused with the jawbone, it will be a permanent part of their smile. The dental implant post will also stimulate the patient's jawbone, just like a natural tooth root would, keeping it dense and healthy so that it can support the patient's new smile for years to come.
