Prepare for Dental Implants with Bone Grafting or Sinus Lift
Optimal Dental Implant Results with Bone Grafting
Patients who do not have enough bone tissue available to support dental implants may need to undergo bone grafting or a sinus lift with Regional Dental Center in Jacksonville, AL.
Bone grafting involves adding grafting material to areas of the jaw where it has deteriorated due to tooth loss or disease. We have extensive experience with bone grafting and sinus lift procedures and uses only the highest-quality materials and latest techniques to ensure the sinus floor or jaw bone is properly restored.
What is Bone Grafting
Dental Implant Preparation Procedures
Dr. Young will determine whether you need a ride augmentation, sinus lift, or another type of bone graft to restore missing bone tissue in the area where implants will be placed.
Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures are typically performed under anesthesia [link to sedation page] because we will need to make an incision in the area where the graft is needed before shaping the bone graft material into the sinus cavity or space. The graft can be held in place with pins, plates, screws, wires, or cables, depending on the area being treated and amount of grafting tissue necessary. Once the graft is secured in place, we will need to close the incision with stitches or bandage the wound. The bone will need to heal before we can move forward with dental implant placement or other restorative work. This process can take several months.
