Fortunately, there are dental treatments available that can fully restore the look and feel of normal teeth.

The powerful chewing action of your mouth exerts such enormous pressure on the bone.\u00a0 If the existing bone can\u2019t withstand this pressure with the implant, the surgery would likely fail. A bone graft can create a more solid base for the implant. With bone grafting, a piece of bone is removed from another part of your jaw or your body, like your hip and transplanted to your jawbone. It could take up to nine months for the transplanted bone to grow enough new bone to support a dental implant. Sometimes you may need only minor bone grafting, which can be completed at the same time as the implant surgery. The condition of your jawbone determines how you proceed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greenfield <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bghdental.com\/dental-implants.html\"><strong>Dental Implants<\/strong><\/a><strong> Appointments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are many important considerations before deciding upon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bghdental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implant<\/a> surgery.
