Yes of course: While the best approach for successful implant surgery is to properly evaluate the bone quality and quantity prior to surgery time, (via. Cone beam ct scan), it is quite possible to add more bone to the surgical site at the time of implant placement.

Bone Graft: There are no contraindications to grafting additional bone at the time of implant placement. In fact, it can be very helpful in some instances.

Recommended: Bone graft procedures may be performed separately or together when dental implants are being placed. This procedure is done routinely upon the individual's condition.. A bone graft can create a more solid base for the implant integration and stability. Good luck.

Yes: Absolutely, we do it routinely. For example, when we do the full arch implant surgical / restorative treatment in one day, we keep the bone removed from reshaping the irregular contours and that removed when preparing the implant sites. This is then grafted wherever it is needed. Good Luck.

Yes: Additional bone grafting is and can be done when implants are placed to help restore contours or to provide bone where the implant may not be completely engaged in bone.
