Replacing missing bone or adding to existing bone is very often essential to the success of a dental implant and the ensuing restoration.
The success of a dental implant, its ability to support a dental restoration, is very much dependent upon how much bone is available in the site where the implant is placed. There are lots of things that affect the bone volume including things like periodontal disease, trauma and infections and in some cases the sinuses may expand into available space thus decreasing the bone volume. However, modern dental techniques assure that the success rate is quite high in patients who are basically healthy.
