Bone grafting
When you have a missing tooth, the supporting jawbone can suffer from resorption that only worsens with time. Following analysis of your 3D-CBCT scan, the areas with insufficient bone required for implants can be assessed for various bone grafting procedures such as sinus elevation/lift, socket preservation and guided bone regeneration (GBR). All bone augmentation (grafting) procedures have a common goal of achieving sufficient sound vital bone for implant placement.
