Had a tooth extraction and a bone graft done. Is there enough bone for an implant? See CT scan (Photo)

Rational823896Feb 16, 2022
My front tooth had an infection and had a lot of bone loss. I got the tooth extracted and bone graft done in July 2021. I wanted to get opinions on if there is enough bone now for an implant. I have attached a picture of my CT scan and X ray that were taken in January 2022. Also, is it possible the infection could still be there if tooth is now extracted?

As far as I observe from the images, your frontal teeths misalignment could fix without orthodontics treatment. Your teeths could be getting cut and then veneers will cover your existing tooths. The material could be laminate or zirconia depending on your budget or choice.

Sometimes it is beneficial to not stitch the area of treatment due to several clinical reasons which would be in the best interest of the patient's healing, etc. Leave this judgement upto your dentist/surgeon as they would know best what would be ideal in your specific situation..

Hello, if you had implants placed 6 months ago and your gums are fully healed you can use denture glue while you wait for the to be clipped over your dentures, yet it would be best to have them clipped soon, regular implant integration takes 4-6 months so you are safe to have your dentures...
