Before dental implant surgery, imaging tests help Dr. Moore at Charlotte Oral Surgery determine if a bone graft is needed. These tests provide detailed, high-resolution images that reveal the bone’s density, volume, and structure at the planned implant site.
If the images show that there isn’t enough healthy bone to securely anchor an implant, Dr. Moore can identify the specific areas where bone is lacking and plan a bone graft accordingly. Imaging also helps map out vital structures like nerves and sinuses, ensuring that any grafting or implant placement avoids these areas for your safety.
