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.

Ibrahim was very clear about the treatment and options and performed the task with great care and professionalism. I was struck by the quality of his communication with Tia, his dental nurse , who,Ifelt, was also excellent.A difficult treatment which was excellently delivered.

Suggestions regarding dental care made by the dental hygienist have been very beneficial.

14th August 2025

Sarah offered to get me a referral to a specialist for my neuralgia which she did and I saw him a week after my dental appointment and he was great. He is going to arrange an MRI scan in 2-3 weeks and said that my medication was wrong, so I can only thank her for getting the ball in motion. My doctor appears to have failed me for the past 7 months so hopefully I get my problem sorted. Thank you Sarah again.

The Dental Hygenist was the best I've ever had at Envisage. I hope she is permanent and not standing in for holidays.

I have always seen Sue Walker since she started at the practice. She understands my needs and is able to reassure me of what is being done. I am an extremely nervous patient and she puts me at ease by explaining everything to me as we go along. She is a wonderful asset to the practice.

It is a friendly and helpful practice where your name and particulars are remembered. Very accommodating for more urgent issues should they arise. Feels very professional.

The reception staff were really friendly and very helpful. Ibrahim Karakus informed me as to what he was going to do before my extraction and made me feel at ease throughout. He was very gentle and completed this rather tricky procedure successfully. I am more than pleased and totally confident in returning in the future.
