Patients who have ignored tooth loss for a long period are likely to suffer from bone loss in their jawbone, which is a problem that needs to be resolved in the case of conventional implant placement.
When there is insufficient bone present, there is nothing for the implant to fuse to and can become wobbly and dislodge out of place – something you definitely don’t want to happen after spending money on your new smile.
However, there are other non-conventional treatments we can use to work around little bone in the jaw, as some implant-based treatments like All-on-4 are the graftless solution to full arch rehabilitation.
