Can I Get Midface Implants If I Have Severe Maxillary Bone Loss From Removing All Of My Upper Teeth?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m 38 and had all my top teeth pulled for a full arch implant but I needed to go away for 4 years and experienced extreme bone resorption atrophy and increased underbite and now am not eligible for traditional teeth implants.. but my face lost volume in a crazy way I have bad bone density and my nose started sinking in my face and I have Huge nasal labial folds and my face doesn’t look right I am miserable.. can you guys help?

I’m thinking premaxilla face implants but I dunno I’m worried my bone density is an issue.

A: With severe maxillary bone loss midface implants have a much higher risk of complications due to reduced mucosal soft tissue coverage.
