Most people think bone is just bone! Actually, in the mouth it can be as hard oak wood or as soft as Styrofoam!!!
Your success with the dental implant procedure has got a lot to do with this. The techniques of placing the implants into each type of bone is very different. This video should help you understand this concept.
If you cant see the video in your blog reader…here is the link.

This makes sense why my upper implant is taking longer than the lower one a had done last year.
many thanks Dr. Amin, you have a lot of information here on dental implants that I am considering to have implanted now. I am not from the US and I cannot come to your office, of course, anyway your site helps me a lot in making a decision. Thanks again

Thank you for all this useful information. I did not think of implants until I had my left upper 7th molar extracted last year in August. I have waited 8 months. On Saturday, Aprl 23rd, 2011 I had a sinus lift with bone graft and implant, hoping that in about 4 months time all will have stabilized. I wish I had known about same day implants in August last year. Thanks again.
