Dental implants are the most effective method of restoring lost teeth today. However, not every situation, you can perform transplant immediately. There are many factors that govern this, including whether the jaw bone standard is suitable for implants.

Implant standards now go with jaw bone standard

In fact, the smallest implant size has a length of 6.0mm and a diameter of 3.0mm. Therefore, the required size of the jaw bone at the treatment area should be greater than the implant size.

For bone conditions that are not conducive to implantation, such as bone loss (bone thickness lower than implant size respectively), bone grafts are required. And this situation usually happens to patients with long-term tooth loss or thin bone thickness congenital.
