ANY BONE AUGMENTATION SURGICAL PROCEDURES NEEDED.

If the jaw bone is very thin and if an implant cannot be accommodated then surgical procedures are needed to increase the volume of bone.

BONE GRAFTING MATERIALS USED.

The bone grafts are synthetic or natural and are used to augment deficient jaw bone where implants are placed. These are expensive and are charged as per the quantity used. Some times when large quantity of bone are required the bone is harvested from patients own body. For example chin, hip bone, skull etc.

TYPE OF ABUTMENT USED

Sometimes angulated or aesthetic or zirconium abutments are used which are many times more expensive than straight conventional abutment.

TYPE OF ANESTHESIA USED
