Millions of Americans suffer from tooth loss—but what many don’t realize is that the longer teeth are missing, the more bone loss occurs in the jaw. This natural process can make placing dental implants more difficult... but not impossible.
If you’ve been told that you’re not a candidate for implants due to bone loss, don’t give up. Dr. Edward Halusic, oral surgeon at New Smile Now at The Facial Surgery Center in Greensburg, PA, has helped thousands of patients reclaim their smile—even after years of jawbone deterioration.
What Causes Bone Loss After Tooth Loss?
When teeth are missing, your jawbone is no longer stimulated by regular chewing and biting. Over time, this lack of stimulation causes the bone to deteriorate—sometimes shrinking up to 25% in the first year alone.
This process is known as alveolar bone resorption, and it:
- Affects your facial structure
- Makes dentures loose or painful
- Increases the difficulty of dental implant placement
But with today’s technology and surgical advancements, bone loss no longer has to disqualify you from getting the permanent smile you deserve.
How Dr. Halusic Rebuilds Smiles with Minimal Bone
Dr. Halusic has spent over 35 years restoring smiles for patients who have been told they’re “too far gone.” His solution? A powerful combination of advanced bone regeneration techniques and specialized implant procedures that many other doctors aren’t trained to perform.
Solutions Include:
Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implants
Placed in areas of dense bone (like the cheekbone), these implants bypass the jawbone entirely—making full-arch restoration possible even in cases of extreme loss.
Bone Grafting & Ridge Augmentation
If needed, Dr. Halusic can regenerate bone using the latest in grafting materials and biologics—including those he helped clinically test and develop during FDA trials.
CHROME™ GuidedSMILE™ Technology
This system allows for pinpoint-accurate implant placement and same-day teeth, reducing trauma and maximizing success even in tricky cases.
All-on-4® or All-on-X Technique
Uses angled implants and fewer anchor points to provide a full arch of teeth with less need for bone grafting.
“You’re Not a Candidate” Is No Longer the End of the Road
Dr. Halusic has helped patients who were:
- Turned away by multiple dentists or specialists
- Living with dentures for decades
- Experiencing facial collapse due to bone resorption
- Struggling to chew, speak, or smile confidently
Through customized treatment plans and the latest in surgical innovation, he consistently turns “no” into “yes.”
“I was told for years that I couldn’t get implants. Dr. Halusic changed everything. I got new teeth and my confidence back—in just one day.”
