Do Mini Dental Implants Require Bone Grafting?

In this video, Dr. John Coolican, an experienced Wilkes-Barre implant dentist, explains how bone grafting can often be avoided entirely when replacing teeth with mini dental implants.

Mini dental implants, for the most part, do not require bone grafting when the tooth or teeth have been extracted and proper healing has occurred. In some cases, such as removing a tooth and placing your implant, and same day tooth, bone grafting is indicated and I can perform this procedure for you. A consultation and proper or diagnosis is necessary to determine your condition, so schedule your free consultation.
