Protecting Nerves During Dental Implant Procedures

Nerve repositioning, also known as inferior alveolar nerve repositioning or nerve lateralization, is a specialized surgical procedure performed by oral surgeons to address challenges related to dental implant placement in the lower jaw. In some cases, the inferior alveolar nerve, which provides sensation to the lower lip, chin, and teeth, may impede the placement of implants due to its proximity to the jawbone.

Nerve repositioning involves carefully moving this nerve to a safer position, allowing for the successful placement of dental implants with a lower risk of compromising sensation. Our experienced oral surgeons utilize advanced techniques and technology to perform nerve repositioning procedures with precision and care, ensuring optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
