Bone and Sinus Grafts in Preston

Restoring Your Smile’s Foundation

Every smile needs the support of a healthy jaw. But if you’ve lost teeth or have suffered from periodontal disease, your bone mass may decrease. Your jaw no longer has the strength to support teeth or to replace them with dental implants.

If you can’t have dental implants because your jaw lacks strength and volume, we can rebuild it using a bone graft or sinus lift. Then, once your jaw has healed, we can place dental implants.

Although it sounds like a daunting procedure, bone grafting is surprisingly simple and easy.

Bone Augmentation Explained

Bone grafting, or augmentation, involves taking small amounts of bone and grafting it onto the diminished area. This bone is either synthetic or natural. Over time, the new bone will fuse with your jaw to reinforce it.

Several bone grafting techniques exist:

Synthetic Grafts

Sometimes, it’s not possible to use a portion of your bone. In these instances, a synthetic material will deliver exceptional outcomes. This option can take longer than an autograft.

Sinus Lifts

We use a sinus lift graft when rebuilding bone in your upper jaw. The graft is placed toward the back of your mouth between the sinus membrane and upper jaw.

Augmented Benefits

Bone grafts make dental implant surgery possible, but there are other
reasons to choose this procedure.

Restored Aesthetics

Losing bone mass can affect your facial structure. When your jawbone diminishes, it can cause wrinkles and sagging around your mouth, giving you an aged appearance. Rebuilding the bone helps.

Restored Confidence

Losing teeth affects you greatly. Speaking, eating, and smiling—activities you once took for granted—become challenges. A bone graft coupled with dental implants will replace these challenges with a new sense of confidence.

Restored Support

Your jaw takes the pressure when you eat. Losing teeth and bone mass can leave you sticking to softer foods. Rebuilding your jaw to support dental implants will mean your taste buds can get reacquainted with the chewy or crunchy foods you used to love.

Restored Health

Dental implants are life-enhancing —and bone grafts are a gateway to this treatment. Rebuilding your smile’s foundation helps you combat several dental problems that could impact you for life.

The Bone Graft Process

Assess

Ahead of your bone graft, we’ll need a clear picture of your jaw. We’ll assess your bone mass using X-rays and digital scans and plan the procedure.

At this step, we can walk you through the grafting process and answer any questions.

Build

Whichever type of bone augmentation you receive, we’ll give you an anaesthetic to ensure a pain-free treatment.

Check

It can take a few months for your bone graft to fuse fully. We’ll invite you back to the clinic to check on your recovery. Once you’re ready, we can schedule you for dental implants.

Adam is a brilliant dentist. He listens, advises and clearly explains the procedures which makes me feel completely at ease. He’s a perfectionist and very professional and I have never had any problems or left the surgery unhappy. I would highly recommend Adam to anybody.

Absolutely fantastic service by Dr Adam. I tried going to my usual dentist but their next available appointment was in 3 weeks! I called XO and the practice manager told me she’d ask Dr Patel to come in a bit early and squeeze me in! Where do you get service like that nowadays?!

I recently visited Dr Adam after suffering from severe pain, he was professional, clear and concise. I was prescribed antibiotics and a follow up appointment was booked. Adam managed to save my tooth. Highly recommend.

Adam was recommended to me and it was the best advice! Adam and the team looked after me incredibly well and the results are just amazing. My own teeth were very worn down and I had completely stopped any open mouthed smiling and always laughed behind my hand. Adam explained the possibilities, found the best option for me and the work was completed in a couple of weeks. My gorgeous new composite bonded teeth and I spent all day smiling at a recent wedding. I will always be grateful to Adam for the advice and for the results!
