Many people suffer from osteoporosis and have brittle and porous bones. The jaw also suffers from the chronic disease. But implantation is possible even with bone loss. The jaw is usually not badly affected by bone loss. In spite of this, the bone substance is often very poor here, but it is not an obstacle to avoiding dental implants.
A wide variety of bone augmentation methods are used today. These can be artificial bones in the form of bone powder, blocks or pieces, as well as bone reinforcements, whereby bones are made from the patient’s own body.
The dentist can determine whether the jawbone has enough substance for an implant or is already damaged by measuring the bone density.
Once the implant is in place, osteoporosis will no longer interfere with you. Various studies show that bone loss has no influence on the success of the implant.
