Bone grafting and sinus lifts are highly specialized surgical procedures, and although they may seem rather extensive, they play a very important role in making new dental implant teeth possible. In the past, patients who did not have adequate bone height or width were told they couldn’t have dental implants.
Modern advances in implant dentistry have brought us these successful techniques to restore what was lost and make it possible to have a beautiful smile. Bone graft surgery is temporary, but being able to eat, laugh, talk and smile that last a lifetime!
Guided bone reconstruction is carried out at the same time as your dental implant surgery. Other than a few minutes of extra surgery time, you will be unaware of the procedure taking place. Your dental implant surgeon will add a unique material around the dental implant to fill any areas where there might be small deficiencies in your bone.
Many people who have bone loss believe that they will be unable to have dental implants and that a lifetime of wearing dentures is their only option. We are delighted to tell you this is not true and our expert team at the Woodlands Dental Clinic can perform many bone grafting procedures which will allow your dental implant treatment to go ahead.
The bones of the face are hollow and contain air spaces known as sinuses. These sinuses sit above the upper back teeth and are known as the maxillary sinuses. When an upper back tooth is lost, the floor of the sinus drops into the space where the tooth roots formerly sat. To place an implant, it is sometimes necessary to push the sinus floor to where it was originally by adding a bone substitute material.
