If you have been told that you do not have enough bone for a dental implant, you may want to consider mini dental implants. We can evaluate your case to determine whether implants can be placed without the need for bone grafting. Bone grafting involves surgery, recovery time, and potential post-operative discomfort. However, you may be a candidate for mini implants, which can be placed in smaller areas of available bone. This procedure is straightforward, and in many cases, implants can be placed and restorations completed in just one or two visits. I would be happy to evaluate you for mini dental implants.
