Additional Surgical Procedures

A key to implant success is the quantity and quality of the bone where the implant is to be placed. If you've lost bone in that area due to reasons such as periodontal disease or tooth loss, you may be left without enough bone to place implants. Additional surgical procedures like Sinus augmentation or lateral ridge modification will increase the width and the depth of the bone in the surgical site to prepare the site for the future implant placement.
