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.

Everyone we had dealings with were so friendly. Olga put my 16 year olds completely at ease and explained everything to them step by step. 1st time for one and 2nd for the other (old method before which he did not enjoy!)

Tom is a really kind and compassionate clinician, he takes the time to make sure you are comfortable and explains everything he is doing. I am really nervous and he made me feel at ease.

A fabulous local service. Easy parking. Clean, bright clinic, choice of reading material in waiting room. Courteous friendly reception staff. Every body looks after you. I have mobility issues and was asked, how I was on the stairs, I was watched both ways. The room had amazing air conditioning on a very hot day, very welcoming. All in ok a very good appointment

Navigating life with severe anxiety issues had put dental treatment very low on the list of things to do.<br><br>I recently visited Envisage Dental Practice in Ferndown and I honestly can't praise them enough.<br><br>Dr Hugo Rowland and his side kick Tia never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable and explained every step throughout my visits.<br><br>Tia's 'chair' side manner is professional, involves empathy, clear communication, and a calming reassurance.<br>The treatment is modern, completely painless with Tia checking if I was okay multiple times during the work.<br><br>Overall, the treatment plan was crystal clear with all procedures and costs explained fully, upfront and with no hidden surprises.<br><br>From Reception to pain free teeth, thank you all!<br><br>Mark.

First time at this dental practice today, I was seen by Sue Walker who was recommended to me by a friend. Sue took time to explain every aspect of the check up, I am a nervous patient but throughout the appointment Sue was kind and understanding.
