What If I Don’t Have Enough Bone for a Dental Implant?

In this video, Dr. John Coolican, an experienced Wilkes-Barre implant dentist, explains the possibility of placing mini dental implants in patients who have been denied conventional dental implants due to severe bone resorption.

If you’ve been told that you don’t have enough bone or that you need bone grafting, please give us a call for that free consultation. We will take a CT scan of you, visualize the bone in three dimensions, and very often you would be a candidate for what is called the mini dental implant. If bone grafting is still indicated, such as when extracting tooth and placing a dental implant on the same visit, I can perform these procedures for you.
