How Much Jaw Angle Width Do I NeedTo Create An Angular Appearance?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have a question about mandible implant width size. To create an angular apearence on my jaw, would 5mm width do it? I have read thats very small when it comes to mandible implants. What size is needed?

A:To make the determination as to how much width  may be necessary in the jaw angle area it really takes imaging of the patient’s pictures to determine the result you were seeking from which an estimate can then be provided as to what that width number may be. As I don’t know what you look like I can only make a general statement of which it would be fair to say a 5 mm jaw angle width in most men is unlikely to create an angular jaw angle appearance. But every patient is different and must be evaluated on their own.
