This particular patient wishes to get a implant in the molar region but unfortunately, does not have enough bone to support it. Currently, the amount of bone in the vertical dimension that the patient has is 2 mm. Therefore, an increase in bone volume must be established first before an implant

An insufficient width and thickness of bone at the alveolar ridge makes it impossible for the placement of a traditional sized dental implant. Therefore, a ridge splitting procedure is performed along with a ridge expansion for the localized implant site resulting in adequate stability and prolonged implant health as a

For this particular patient, not only is the patient missing some anterior (front) teeth but is also lacking the supporting bone along with the soft gum tissue. In cases where patients chooses NOT to restore the hard tissue (bone) and soft tissue (gum) by traditional means (i.e., surgery) then they

This patient decided to extract all of his upper teeth and to get a full-arch screw-retained implant prosthesis. For this patient, no vertical bone reduction was necessary and the patient was even more happier that this was not needed or performed. Instead, only the teeth that are missing were needed
