When teeth are lost or extracted, bone loss during healing can present an obstacle to implant placement. Similarly, certain anatomical structures, such as the maxillary sinus, can impede implant placement. These areas can be grafted to increase or maintain bone volume. This can be a critical step in opening up or optimizing your treatment options.
Brad Hall, DMD uses a variety of graft materials depending on the site and patient requirements. Please feel free to discuss the type and origin of graft materials with Dr. Hall prior to your surgical procedure.
