Can An Implant Improve My Jaw Asymmetry?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have a pretty severe asymmetric lower jaw. Much more bone on one side than the other. I’m wondering if I am a candidate for an implant that would improve appearance.

A: You would be assuming that the bigger side of the jaw is the preferred side. A 3D CT scan will provide the definitive view of how different the two sides are as well as the platform for building an implant for asymmetry improvement.
