When a tooth is removed, the bone surrounding the root socket will begin to wear away. If this happens, placing a dental implant may not be possible due to the significant bone loss and deterioration. You may need a bone graft before we can properly place a dental implant in your jaw. A bone graft involves building up and strengthening that section of bone again so that a dental implant can be securely placed into a healthy jaw.

If you need a dental implant but lack enough bone needed, have a bone defect, or need a bone graft for any other reason, Dr. Martinez is skilled and experienced to handle all types of bone augmentation. Contact our office today to schedule an initial consultation. We will explain the process, help you understand your options, and answer any questions you have so that you can make a well informed decision.
