Yes: In my practice, it is routine to do simultaneous grafting and implant placement. We rarely have referrals that have adequate bone, but have developed technique over the years to reconstruct bone at same time placing a sound implant.

Quite often yes.: Simultaneous implant placement and bone augmentation is an everyday procedure in my practice. This certainly is a case by case decision. Often a 3-dimensional radiograph or ct scan is taken pre-operatively, and the surgical approach, based on the desired restorative outcome, can be planned. The short answer to your question is: often but not always.

Yes: Possible - yes. All depends on the nature of the need for grafting. Very commonly done the same day. Diagnosis is very important, to assess the treatment options and provide the best long term result. Our center in king of prussia, pa does this. (by design dental implant center). The location of the implant area and the need for grafting are critical factors. Sometimes the graft must heal first.

Yes: It depends upon the location of the intended implant, and the amount of existing bone and amount of grafted bone necessary. A ct scan as part of the diagnosis helps answer these questions prior to the procedure.

Yes, usually: It is often possible to have a tooth removed and a bone graft with a dental implant placed the sae day. Every situation is different, but quite often i perform this in my office. Sometimes there are situations which prevent this, especially if infection is present, not enough native bone, not enough soft tissue, etc. Speak to your oral surgeon about your particular case.
