Is There A Minimum Bone Thickness Requirement for Implants?
Last Updated: Nov 11, 2015
My wife had surgery six months ago to prepare her upper jaw for 3 implants on one side. We were told that there was insufficient bone to install implants, and she would require a sinus lift. Is there a minimum bone thickness requirement for the installation of dental implants?
