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.

I couldn't be happier with the treatment I received at Envisage Dental Ferndown. From my very first consultation with Tom and Tayla through to the final appointment, the entire team was professional, friendly, and incredibly supportive.<br><br>I had four veneers and four crowns fitted, and the whole process was explained clearly every step of the way. I always felt comfortable, well-informed, and confident that I was in expert hands.<br><br>The attention to detail and quality of the work have exceeded my expectations. The end result looks completely natural, and I now have the smile I'd always hoped for. I genuinely can't thank the team enough for their care, skill, and dedication throughout my treatment.<br><br>I would highly recommend Envisage Dental Ferndown to anyone considering cosmetic dental treatment. It's been an excellent experience from start to finish, and I'm absolutely delighted with the results.

Overall superb service provided, every facet of my experience at Envisage was first class. The treatment provided by Dr Hugo Rowland and the Dental Nurse was outstanding; both of whom were friendly and professional, whilst the procedure itself was to the highest standard. The lady on reception I interacted with was helpful and friendly. No one looks forward to going to the dentist, but when you receive treatment and service of such a high standard, it is about as good as it gets!

As a very nervous patient. I was put immediately at ease by the dentist and dental nurse. Both were extremely kind and supportive. Everything was explained fully to me and time given for my next option. Cannot praise them highly enough. The receptionist was also very kind and caring after the tooth extraction and made sure that I was feeling up to leaving the practice.

I had Invisalign done with Tom. From start to finish he was very thorough, making sure he made my teeth look as good as he possibly could, he also talked me through every stage making sure I had a good understanding of what was going on/going to happen next. He is also very polite and friendly along with his assistant and the receptionists. Any question or queries I had he was more than happy to answer/help. I am so much more confident and happy now it was 100% worth doing. Overall i had a very good experience with Tom and would strongly recommend him!
