Hi, Dr. Anand here from Warragul Dental Care.
If you’re thinking about getting a dental implant, you might be wondering, “Do I need a bone graft first?” The answer is simple – just come in for a consultation, and we’ll take a 3D scan of your jaw.
Here at Warragul Dental Care, we’re proud to offer state-of-the-art scanning technology right in our clinic, so there’s no need to head off to an external imaging centre. With our 3D jaw scan, I can create a virtual model of your jawbone to assess its density and determine whether you have enough healthy bone to support your implant – or if a bone graft is needed to strengthen the area.
Why does this matter? A dental implant needs a strong foundation for long-term success. If your jawbone isn’t robust enough, a bone graft can rebuild and fortify the site, giving your implant the best chance to settle in perfectly.
So if you’re considering dental implants, let’s start with a consultation and get everything planned right from the beginning.Simply give us a call on 03 8899 6937 or send us a DM to book your 3D scan and personalised treatment plan!
