Insufficient jaw bone may hinder teeth restorations such as dental implants and may be required in other dental or corrective surgery such as Oro-Maxillofacial Surgery (see below).

Thanks to dental implants, your lost permanent teeth can be replaced with a new set of permanent teeth. The dental implants will look and function just like natural teeth.

The procedure involves implanting a titanium abutment via a minor surgery under local anesthetic (or GA, if required) during the first stage and 3-6 months after or upon full integrations of the implant and your bone, the prosthesis for the abutment will be prepared and fixed complete the implant.

Wisdom teeth are usually impacted (buried) in the jaw bone due to insufficient space for its eruption.

In lament terms, such surgery is for the purpose of reconstructing the upper or lower jaws.
