Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts

For individuals who are missing part or all of their natural teeth, implant dentistry offers a safe, reliable, and efficient treatment. A person's jaw may need to be further prepared in order to lay the proper foundation for implants to be firmly put.

In a jaw without teeth, the bone and supporting tissues gradually start to deteriorate. If this happens, there might not be enough bone for an implant to be inserted. Fortunately, science has made significant progress in this area, and there are now two ways to stop bone loss.

Artificial bone chips or harvested bone that will eventually mesh into the jaw and blood vessels can be used in a bone graft treatment to bolster the area where an implant needs to be placed.

If there is not enough bone in the upper jaw, a sinus lift can be done by inserting bone graft material into the sinus cavity above the jaw.

Once an appropriate degree of bone density is reached, there will be a waiting time in both circumstances before implants can be inserted into the location.
