Nerve Repositioning at Our Clinic in Los Angeles, CA

Preparing for dental implant surgery isn’t always a straightforward affair. However, don’t lose hope. At Perio Implant Health Professionals in Los Angeles, we understand the complexities of preparing for dental implants. Our expert team offers advanced treatment options, including nerve repositioning, for patients who may not initially qualify for implants due to inadequate bone height in the lower jaw. Our goal is to create a safe, viable foundation for your future smile.

What Is Nerve Repositioning?

Nerve repositioning, also known as nerve lateralization or nerve transposition surgery, is a sophisticated technique we employ when traditional implant placement is not feasible. It involves adjusting the location of the inferior alveolar nerve to make room for the placement of dental implants without risking nerve damage. This procedure is critical for patients with significant bone loss who still desire the benefits of dental implants.

The Nerve Repositioning Procedure

During nerve repositioning for dental implant preparation, our skilled periodontal surgeons carefully make an incision in the lower jaw to access the inferior alveolar nerve. The nerve is meticulously repositioned to allow the secure placement of longer implants. A combination of surgical pads and particulate bone is utilized to cushion and support the nerve, ensuring its safety throughout the process and the subsequent healing phase.

Comprehensive Implant Preparation Solutions

In addition to nerve repositioning, we provide a full spectrum of preparatory procedures, such as bone grafting and guided bone and tissue regeneration. These techniques are designed to rebuild and reinforce the jawbone, ensuring that your dental implants have the strongest possible foundation. At Perio Implant Health Professionals, our comprehensive solutions are tailored to each patient's unique needs, ensuring optimal outcomes for dental implant surgery.
