Bone grafting

Serving patients throughout Gaywood, Kings Lynn, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire

Why are bone grafts necessary?

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it shrinks from lack of stimulation and can change the shape of your mouth. Loss of bone can also be caused by gum disease, tooth development defects, trauma, and by previous dental procedures where efforts were not made to restore natural bone.

Before dental implant treatment can begin your dentist will first need to check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully. If there is insufficient bone you may need to have pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts.

At your initial consultation our implant dentist, Brais Vila Brana , will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

Bone expansion

Your dentist may recommend a bone expansion if your jawbone is too narrow for a dental implant to be fitted. This involves making a small hole into your jawbone where your implant will eventually sit and using bone graft material to widen and strengthen the bone. The bone will be left to heal before a dental implant can be successfully installed.

Bone graft

Bone grafting is a treatment that is used to strengthen the area of bone your dental implant will be inserted into. This involves taking bone from elsewhere in the mouth and placing it in the area to be strengthened. After a number of months, this will fuse together, creating a stronger base for your implant.

Once Brais is happy your bones and gums are healthy, your dental implant treatment can begin.

the receptionist was polite friendly and efficient. my appointment for my dental check up was on time. My following appointment with the hygienist was late by approximately 15 mins ( which is unusual) and did not cause me any major issues. so overall i was very satisfied with my visit.

Let’s be honest. Going to the dentist is not something most people look forward to, that is just a fact of life. But the team here makes this unavoidable part of taking care of your health as comfortable as it can be. If you’ve been putting off looking for a dentist for a while, because you’re worried about the work you need done, or embarrassed by the state of your teeth or just plain scared of the unknown. This is the right dental practice for you. Call them, you won’t regret giving them a chance to help you. They are the most compassionate, kind, non judgmental people I’ve ever been treated by. After 38 years of struggling to find a dentist who will actually listen to me, suffering with dental pain and the worst self esteem imaginable, I’m finally getting the help I need.
