Missing teeth can affect not only your smile but also your oral health, chewing ability, and confidence. Dental implants are often the ideal solution for tooth replacement, but they require sufficient jawbone to support the implant. So what if you don’t have enough bone? At Harmony, we offer advanced solutions that allow patients to restore their smile even in challenging cases.
Bone grafting
Bone grafting is a common procedure used to build up the jawbone in areas where it has deteriorated. This involves taking bone from another part of your body or using synthetic materials to create a solid foundation for dental implants. With proper healing, patients can safely receive implants in previously insufficient bone.
Sinus lift
For missing upper teeth near the sinus area, a sinus lift (or sinus augmentation) can create more vertical bone height. This procedure gently raises the sinus membrane and places bone graft material, allowing for secure implant placement.
Removable options
If surgery isn’t an option, removable dentures or partial dentures can restore function and aesthetics. While they don’t integrate with the bone like implants, modern dentures are comfortable, functional, and customizable to your smile.
