BONE GRAFTING AND SINUS LIFT
What Is Bone Grafting?
If you’ve experienced bone loss in your jaw due to missing teeth, trauma, or periodontal disease, bone grafting may be necessary to provide a stable foundation for dental implants. During bone grafting, bone material is added to areas where there is insufficient bone to support an implant. This procedure not only strengthens the jawbone but also helps restore facial contours and prevent further bone loss.
We use the latest bone grafting techniques to ensure your jaw has the necessary strength and density for successful, long-lasting dental implants. Whether you’re preparing for a single tooth implant or a more complex restoration, our experienced team will guide you through every step with precision and care.
What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift (or sinus augmentation) is often required when there isn’t enough bone height in the upper jaw, particularly in the molar and premolar areas, to support dental implants. This condition can occur due to natural bone loss or when the sinus cavity is positioned too close to the jawbone.
During a sinus lift, we gently lift the sinus membrane and place bone graft material beneath it to increase bone volume in the upper jaw. This added support allows for the secure placement of dental implants and contributes to a more successful outcome.
Why Choose Bone Grafting or a Sinus Lift?
Vital for Implant Success: Adequate bone density is crucial for the long-term success of dental implants. Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures ensure your jawbone is strong enough to support implants.
Prevents Further Bone Loss: These procedures promote new bone growth, preventing future bone resorption and preserving your jaw's structure.
Restores Facial Aesthetics: Rebuilding the bone not only supports dental implants but also restores facial contours for a more youthful appearance.
Improves Oral Health: Strengthening the jawbone contributes to overall oral health and stability, reducing the risk of future dental issues.
Section 4: The Role of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) in Bone Grafting
We take your recovery a step further by incorporating Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) into our bone grafting procedures. PRF is a concentrated form of your own blood, rich in platelets, growth factors, and proteins that aid in healing and tissue regeneration. By using PRF in bone grafting, we can:
Enhance Healing: PRF accelerates the healing process by promoting faster tissue regeneration and reducing the risk of infection.
Improve Graft Success: The growth factors in PRF help integrate the bone graft with your natural bone more efficiently, improving the chances of a successful outcome.
Reduce Inflammation: PRF has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to minimize post-surgical discomfort and swelling.
Natural Approach: Since PRF is derived from your own blood, it offers a natural and safe way to enhance the healing process without synthetic materials.
By combining cutting-edge bone grafting techniques with the regenerative power of PRF, we ensure that your treatment is as effective and comfortable as possible.
Are You a Candidate for Bone Grafting, a Sinus Lift, or PRF?
If you’ve been told you lack sufficient bone for dental implants, or if your upper jaw is too close to your sinuses, you may benefit from bone grafting, a sinus lift, or the use of PRF. Our experienced team will conduct a thorough evaluation, using advanced imaging to assess your bone structure and create a personalized treatment plan.
