A common question we get at Advanced Dental Techniques is if a patient qualifies for dental implants. One of the key factors that determines implant success is the quality and volume of the jaw bone. For those interested in dental implants in Wayne, NJ, we offer effective bone grafting treatment that can restore your jaw to acceptable levels for implant placement. Not sure if you need to speak to Dr. Lawrence Breiterman about bone grafting?
