Lexington’s Veterans Affairs Healthcare is offering a new type of dental surgery for people suffering from bone loss that prevents them from wearing dentures. Prosthodontist Dr. Gerald Grant said they performed the procedure for the first time in VA history in January, and for the third time Tuesday. They call it an individual personal solution.
“It's an implant that is designed that fits that specific patient. It is designed so that we don't have to do any bone grafting and, and it will fit a prosthesis usually for a dental search. So we're looking for patients that have don't have enough bone to hold their dentures in.”
