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.

My Dentist Kem and my hygienist, Sarah Israel, are amazing! I always feel so comfortable and well taken care of every time I come in. Kem is super kind and really takes the time to explain everything, which makes a huge difference. Sarah is the best — gentle, thorough, and always so friendly. My teeth feel great after every visit! Highly recommend this surgery if you want top-notch care and a team that truly cares about their patients.

I would definitely recommend Lynn Road practice for any dental treatment. I am a nervous patient when it comes to any dental work but Mo and Kerry were amazing and put me at ease straight away. Obviously prices for any private dental treatment are not cheap, however, the service received by all staff there, it’s well worth it. Thank you Mo and Kerry.

Friendly dentist. Explains everything

1st October 2025

I called to make an appointment as I had been experiencing toothache. I was originally given an appointment on 07/10 but was then called back to be offered an earlier appointment.The time wasn't suitable due to pre existing work commitments and I was called back again to be offered an afternoon appointment which I accepted. The staff go over and above to provide an excellent service.
