Visitor asks:
Hello!
Because of a granuloma I will lose my lower first and second molars. I would like to know whether implants could be placed instead, since I have heard that some kind of nerve runs there and that the procedure is supposedly risky.
Thank you for your answer!
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Madam!
Implant placement in the region of the lower molars is among the most common indications for this procedure. The proximity of the mandibular nerve can hinder or make implant placement more difficult, but only rarely prevents it. In most cases an implant can be placed without major problems.
Have a nice day!
