Yes, depending on the situation, you may need a bone graft to rebuild the ridge or a hybrid type of implant (like a mini implant).
Yes! If you are medically a good candidate, you can receive bone grafting or ridge augmentation and receive dental implant(s).
You will need to put one graft first.
As long as there is enough bone or enough bone can be added to allow placement of an implant it can be placed. There are many techniques to add or augment bone with much variation in cost. None of the methods of augmentation are resistant to the conditions or disease processes that caused the loss.
Yes, sometimes grafting techniques will help to get adequate bone depending
It really depends on the type and amount of bone loss. Sometimes bone loss can be improved with a graft prior to placing the implant.
Yes after adding bone graft
