"You don't have enough bone for implants."
If you've heard that, I want you to know β that's not the end of your story. It's the beginning. π¦΄
Here's what most people aren't told: when a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it starts to shrink. You can lose up to 25% of that bone in the first year alone. That's why so many people get turned away for implants β not because implants won't work for them, but because the foundation needs to be rebuilt first.
That's exactly what bone grafting does. We rebuild the area where bone was lost, and over the next few months your body regenerates new bone β real bone, strong enough to support an implant that can last a lifetime. Every case is planned with 3D cone-beam imaging, so nothing is left to guesswork.
If someone told you implants "aren't an option" for you β it's worth a second look before you accept that as final. In most cases, with the right planning, you have more options than you were given.
