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.

Lovely reception staff<br>Lovely dentist, Mo, very caring and informative<br>Lovely hygienist. Like the new machine.<br>Very expensive, as a pensioner priced me out of the plans, raising plan 2 by 19.5% was, in my opinion excessive.<br>I like the practice, been with them for years maybe they should consider a more affordable pensioner plan.

Shenee listened carefully to the recommendations made by the restorative dentist, she explained the procedure and gave me a treatment plan to carry out at home to help with my issue.

My current dentist is the best Ive ever seen. He is polite, friendly, and always explains my treatment in detail and in a way I understand. I feel confident in his ability to provide me with the best treatment.

My hygienist appointment with Sarah and Keira went very well, Sarah explained in depth about the new procedure, using the new warm water and bicarbonate of soda method. It was painless and the results were brilliant, they did a very good job on my elderly and uneven teeth. Good team work!

Good work from Sarah and impressive new cleaning equipment (Air system) and confident assistance from Keira. Dentistry certainly has improved since the dark days of my youth via the dreaded school dentist.

I liked the new procedure used by the hygienist. It was a more comfortable experience, which was carefully described and executed.

I am a difficult patient who has trouble getting properly numb before a procedure. The problem I stated having in an earlier question was that the first injection wasn’t enough. Dr. Mo has built a rapport with me and knows my discomfort cues well at this point he was able to catch it before I even complained and offered more anaesthetic. The fear I have about going to the dentist is being eased more and more with every visit I make to this practice. I hate going to the dentist, it frightens me to the point I’d call it a phobia. The team here is fixing years of psychological damage they didn’t cause.
