Too much bone loss around the jaw can create divots and imbalances in your overall jaw structure which will eventually affect your bite. If the jaw bone has deteriorated extensively, it can impact the overall shape of your jaw and face, causing visible deformities and a ‘sunken in’ look around the jawline. If there isn’t enough bone available in the upper jaw, our doctors may recommend a sinus lift, or ridge augmentation procedure, to rebuild that solid foundation.We only use just enough grafting material necessary to create a stable structure to support a set of dental implants, or to restore your jaw bone after extensive bone loss.
