Q. Dear Dr. Moore: My father has lost most of his teeth on the upper jaw, the six teeth remain on the upper jaw can not be saved either, because they are very loose. I went to a clinic with him, the propose two plans for treatment. I would like to know doew mini implant require bone graft? How well can an over denture be secure on upper jaw? And does asian needs more time to heal after bone graft then western people? Thank you!
A. Mini implants are generaal used when a bone graft is not needed an overdenture works well if the implants provide enough support I’m not aware that Asian people take longer to heal. Healing depends onthe surgery performed and the response of the patient
