Besides the mandibular nerve and the maxillary sinus, what else do I have to worry about when having dental implants placed?
Sometimes the bone is too narrow to hold an implant. In these cases, there are a variety of ways we can increase the width of the bone. This technique is called a ridge augmentation. Depending on the need, ridge augmentations are performed months before placing implants or at the same time the implants are placed. The bottom line is that regardless of the amount of available bone, techniques exist to place implants in nearly all difficult spots. Sometimes it takes a team of surgeons to accomplish the task, and Kingdom Hospital/Consulting Clinics has assembled a team of experienced surgeons that can meet the most complicated of challenges.
