Bone and sinus treatment

Serving patients throughout Ferndown

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, Reginald Yeow, will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

Pre-treatment

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.

Sinus lift

If there is not enough space to fit a dental implant in your upper jaw, Reginald may recommend a sinus lift. This involves moving the sinus membrane upwards to create space in your bone for your new tooth. Once the membrane has been moved, a bone graft will fill the space that has been created to make a suitable space for your dental implant.

Once Reginald is happy your bones and gums are healthy, your dental implant treatment can begin.

Friendly, efficient staff - I came for hygienist today but Becky was also excellent on Monday for check up

8th April 2025

I had a large lower tooth extracted which was stressful. I was then discharged to the reception desk while still shaking and found difficulty in getting my credit card out to pay. The girl at the desk was most helpful and got the card out of my wallet and I was able to pay my bill on the machine while still shaking. It would have been helpful if I had been given the opportunity to sit down and compose myself before being hurried into the payment process.

I’m happy with the service but I am finding it very expensive. As a pensioner I need to consider the cost more now. I am limiting my appointments because if this but still find the cost high.
