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

In this video, Dr. Albert Hazzouri Jr. explains what options may still be available if you have been told you have insufficient bone for a conventional dental implant.

Insufficient bone is a common issue that can prevent the placement of traditional implants without additional procedures. In many cases, this leads to recommendations for bone grafting, which increases both time and cost. However, mini dental implants often provide an alternative because they require less bone for placement. This allows many patients to move forward without grafting. If you have been told you are not a candidate, a free consultation can provide a second opinion and potentially offer a simpler, more accessible solution.
