What if I don’t have enough bone for an implant?
There are many osseous (bone) graft procedures available today. Success is very high. The bone can be the patient’s own bone or bone which has been processed and supplied through a bone bank to provide the basis for the bone graft. Many doctors use combinations of these graft materials including preparation from the patient’s own blood called PRP. PRP is an acronym for platelet rich plasma. It gives a kick start or boost to the healing process of a bone graft by initiating new blood supply to the graft, the basis of all healing.
