Successful implants with bone loss

The tissue beneath your teeth anchors and secures dental implants, but for many people, their bones have deteriorated over time. People lose bone in their mouths for many reasons, and getting dental implants sooner than later after a tooth loss is crucial. Luckily, there are three procedures for building bone:

1. Bone grafting
2. Sinus lift
3. Ridge augmentation
