Bone loss does not always mean “no implants”

Jawbone shrinks after extractions, long denture wear, and gum disease.

The question is a 3D scan, not a blog yes/no.

What the CBCT is for

Cone-beam CT shows height, width, nerves, and sinuses. A flat panoramic is not enough. No CBCT on site → do not book surgery that day. Ask: “Is CBCT on site today?” — do not treat a brand name on a brochure as a guarantee.

From that scan the team may plan standard implants, angled full-arch, graft-then-wait, or specialty paths. “You still qualify” without a CBCT is sales.

Gums first if they are infected — that is a different page. Quote checklist: All-on-4 what must be on the paper.

Ask in consult

  • Can I see the CBCT with you on screen?
  • Graft, angled implants, or not yet — which, and why?
  • Timeline if a graft comes first
