Bone Grafting

Minor Bone Grafting

Minor bone grafting is a crucial procedure performed at the time of tooth extraction to maintain bone volume and integrity. We specialize in bone grafting techniques to prevent bone loss and support future tooth replacement options like dental implants.

Sinus Lifts

The maxillary sinuses are empty, air-filled structures that are positioned above the roots of the upper teeth. Often the position of the maxillary sinus floor results in insufficient bone volume for dental implant placement. Therefore, it is common that a sinus lift with bone grafting is required to create enough bone volume for dental implant placement. A sinus lift and bone graft is one of the most common and predictable bone grafting procedures performed in the oral cavity.

Ridge Augmentation

Tooth loss can lead to a loss of bone in the jaw, also known as atrophy. Ridge augmentation is a procedure to restore jawbone structure after tooth loss and resorption, which prepares the area for future implant placement.

The Bone Grafting Process

Consultation:

We will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment options. A personalized treatment plan will be created based on your specific needs and goal.

Bone Graft Procedure:

The bone grafting procedure is performed to rebuild or augment the bone volume. This can often be done at the time of implant placement, but in some cases bone grafting may be competed first and after a healing phase then implant placement can be performed.

Healing Period:

You will need time to allow the bone graft to integrate with the surrounding bone tissue and promote new bone growth.
