Bone Regeneration

A bone graft generates new bone in your jaw when there isn’t sufficient bone for the placement of implants. You may have low jawbone density if you have been wearing dentures or having gaps in your teeth for many years. This is because the absence of tooth roots causes jawbone atrophy, as your jaw doesn’t have anything to stimulate it day-to-day after tooth loss occurs.

A bone graft uses your own bone, or the bone of a donor, and triggers the growth of new and healthy bone. The new natural bone is generated after approximately 6 to 9 months, after which you will be ready for implant surgery.

With a sinus lift, the objective is to create height in the upper jaw when the sinuses are in close proximity to the jaw. The sinus lining is elevated to create space for the new bone, which will be grafted with a bone graft. 

No. In many cases, we are able to use the All-on-4 method, which bypasses the need for bone regeneration. This implant placement method angulates the implants in the dense areas of the jaw, which are identified with the state-of-the-art CBCT scanner we have at our disposal. We are one of the few practices in the Uxbridge area to have a CBCT scanner, which is instrumental for achieving accuracy and predictability across implant cases. 

We provide comprehensive tooth replacement treatment including bone graft (bone augmentation) and sinus lift in-practice, so you don’t have to go looking for a second reputable dental practice for such treatment – you can stay in the capable hands of our experienced clinicians here in Uxbridge, at every stage of your tooth replacement treatment.

Our team is made up of multiple experienced oral surgeons who have planned and carried out hundreds of bone grafting and sinus lift cases.

If you have been rejected for implant treatments in the past, we may be able to find a solution that allows you to go ahead with this, such as All-on-4 or a bone graft. Our optimistic and problem-solving approach to dentistry means we will always find an answer to tooth loss for our patients.
