Bone Grafting for Dental Implants
Following extraction of teeth, the jawbone undergoes normal atrophy. As a result, the quantity and quality of bone suitable for the placement of a dental implant can be compromised. It is in these situations that a bone grafting procedure may be necessary prior to, or in conjunction with dental implant placement.
To assist in his evaluation, Dr. Mendigutia will recommend a 3-D Cone Beam scan, which precisely furnishes him the information to the quantity and quality of bone so he can diagnose and devise a treatment plan for the placement of dental implants.
Very often it is recommended after extraction of teeth that socket preservation by way of bone graft placement be performed in preparation for implant placement at a later date.
