Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon gives dental implant candidates new hope
The jawbone, which supports your facial soft tissue and gives your face structure, will deteriorate-near the area of tooth loss, if there is nothing to stimulate it. This will leave you with less bone, potentially complicating your impending dental implant procedure.
In Franklin Lakes and Maywood, dental implant treatment is still a possibility, but you most likely need a bone graft to recreate some of the jawbone that was unfortunately lost.
Dr. Costello has practiced Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery for over a decade, and offers minor and major bone grafting. A routine bone grafting procedure is usually minor, and treatment can take place in the surgeon’s office with the use of a local anesthesia or conscious sedation.
