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.

I had lost part of a tooth which left a jagged edge that was rubbing on my tongue. I phoned on Monday morning and got an appointment for Tuesday afternoon. My own dentist was on vacation but the dentist I saw listened to my problem and carried out work to take care of it. He then advised me on what to do and I have made a further appointment with my dentist to discuss my options.

I went to an emergency dentist last Monday, was told I needed a root canal. They wanted to refer me, but me knowing how long referrals can take and with an impending trip coming up, I started calling other dental practices to see if I could get something sooner. I spoke to Lynn Road via Whatsapp last week and explained my situation. The reception team were amazing. They got me booked in the following week (today) for a root canal. The root canal itself went as good as it could, I didn't feel a thing. I was practically falling asleep on the chair. Dr Mo is probably the best dentist I've had. Super professional, but kind and compassionate. Understood that I had a root canal done prior on another tooth when I was much younger, which wasn't a great experience - and so I was quite nervous. But he was excellent and made me feel very comfortable. Very grateful for all this practice have done for me. I now have a permanent filling in, and I am due a temporary crown in just under two weeks, eventually following a permanent one in a few months. I think I'll stick to this dentist for all other dental care. :)
