Missing teeth cause a multitude of problems. Replacing teeth has never been easier. From experiments in implant surgery in the 1970s where it took over a year before a final restoration could be placed we now have a complete restoration in three months in most cases.
In some cases the amount of bone available is insufficient for a long term predictable restoration. There are several state of the art techniques applied in our office to maximize the use of the bone present or to increase the bone availability. Sometimes grafting procedures can be utilized to add to the current bone.
