There are special procedures that enhance and modify lost bone:
Sinus Augmentation
The upper back jaw has traditionally been one of the most challenging areas for successful dental implant placement due to insufficient bone quantity and quality and the close proximity to the sinus. Sinus augmentation can address this issue by raising the sinus floor and creating bone for dental implant placement.
Ridge Modification
Deformities in the upper or lower jaw can result in inadequate bone for dental implant placement. To correct this issue, the defect is filled with bone or bone substitute to build up the ridge.
