If you’ve been told you’re “not a candidate for implants because of bone loss,” I want you to pause, and read this carefully.
Because for many of our patients at SmileConcepts, bone loss isn’t the end of the story—it’s just the beginning of the right treatment plan.
In fact, with today’s digital technology and modern techniques, dental implants are still very possible, even if you’ve lost bone due to age, gum disease, or long-term missing teeth.
Let’s break it down.
And when that stimulation disappears, the bone begins to shrink. This process is called bone resorption, and it starts within months of losing a tooth.
Over time, this can lead to:
But here’s the good news:
Modern implant dentistry offers several powerful solutions to work around, or even reverse, bone loss.
Yes, in most cases, you can.
Depending on the severity and location of the bone loss, we may recommend one of the following advanced treatment strategies:
This technique uses strategically angled implants placed in areas of naturally stronger bone, often avoiding the need for grafting altogether.
If you’ve lost too much bone in a specific area, we can regrow or restore bone using grafting material.
Types of grafting include:
In rare cases of extreme upper jaw bone loss, longer implants can be anchored into the cheekbone (zygoma).
We never guess.
We take a high-resolution 3D CBCT scan to assess:
It’s not just about what’s possible, it’s about what’s safe, predictable, and long-lasting.
Mark, 59, came to us after three clinics told him he didn’t have enough bone for implants.
After a full 3D scan, we developed a plan using bone grafting and All-on-6 implants. 12 months later, he’s eating steak, smiling in photos, and says:
“It feels like a second chance I didn’t think was possible.”
Waiting too long.
The longer you go without a tooth, the more bone you lose, and the more complex the reconstruction becomes.
That’s why we always recommend early consultation, even if you’re not ready to proceed right away.
