Bone loss is a common challenge among individuals who have been missing teeth for a long time. As a result, since hybrid dentures rely on multiple dental implants for support, some patients worry that bone loss in the jaw may prevent them from being candidates for hybrid dentures. While bone density is a significant factor, modern dental techniques can make it possible for patients with jawbone loss to also enjoy the benefits of hybrid dentures in Sweetwater.
How Bone Grafting Helps Patients with Bone Loss
If your jawbone isn’t strong enough to support implants, bone grafting may be recommended. This procedure uses a bit of bone from another part of the body or a synthetic substitute to rebuild bone in areas where it has weakened or shrunk. This creates a solid foundation for implants. By combining bone grafting with implant placement, even patients who have experienced significant bone loss can qualify for hybrid dentures.
Bone loss doesn’t automatically mean traditional dentures are your only option. With today’s advanced solutions, you may still be a candidate for implant-supported restorations.
