You went in to talk about dental implants. Now you are talking about a bone graft, too. If you already have concerns about implant treatment, adding another procedure to the plan can make the whole process feel much bigger than you expected.<\/p>\n

Hearing that you have lost bone, however, does not automatically settle the question.

Traditional implants require more jawbone, while mini implants are much smaller. For patients with limited bone, that difference can influence what comes next.<\/p>\n
