Our Denver Dental implant dentists are more and more are recommending bone grafting in our dental implant cases. This is especially true in the esthetic area. How the teeth look is influenced by the underlying bone and gum. If the tooth has been missing for some time the bone resorbs lower and the ridge becomes narrower. Optimum esthetic in this case is difficult without grafting.
Quality and Quantity of bone Denver Implant dentist
The issue is the quality and quantity of bone available to place a dental implant. Not enough bone is easy to understand but the "quality" of the bone is also important. If bone is too "spongy" it may be difficult for the bone to osseointegrate or fuse with the implant.Our Denver Dental Implants dentist feels this is critically important.

Our Denver dental implant dentists feel that dental implants also helps preserve bone. When a tooth is lost the bone melts away without the stimulus of a tooth and its root. The dental implant acts like a tooth root and reduces the melting away of the bone normally seen when teeth are extracted. Cost of dental bone grafting varies depending upon case and location. To give an estimate would not be helpful. Our Denver Dental Implant dentists would need to see you to evaluate your individual situation. On occasion we need to refer you to a specialist for this procedure.
