Benefits of Bone Grafting and Sinus Lift
Improved stability of teeth and implants
By placing additional bone in areas with low density, the implants and teeth will have more support to rely on. This will improve both their function and stability.
Prevention of facial collapse
When bone resorption due to tooth loss occurs, the facial structure may start to collapse. This is something that can be prevented with bone grafting and sinus lifts.
Increased ability to chew
Another benefit of bone grafting and sinus lifts is that they can restore your ability to chew naturally. With proper support for implants, you can go back to eating your favourite foods.
Prevention of bone loss in the affected area, leading to healthier overall oral health
By rebuilding the affected area, bone grafting and sinus lifts can also help prevent further bone loss. This will protect your overall oral health and reduce your risk of future problems.
What You Need to Know About Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts
Different Bone Graft Sources
Bone grafts can come from various sources, such as the patient's body, donor bone, or synthetic materials. Each type has its benefits and is chosen based on what suits the patient's specific condition and needs.
Bone Grafting Procedure Explained
In a bone grafting procedure, new bone material is placed in areas where the bone has resorbed. This process helps build the bone structure, creating a solid base for future dental implants and improving overall stability.
Steps in a Sinus Lift
A sinus lift involves gently lifting the sinus membrane in the upper jaw to create space for bone graft placement. This procedure is often necessary when there isn't enough bone height in the upper jaw to securely and effectively place implants.
Healing and Recovery Time
Healing from bone grafting and sinus lifts can take several months. During this time, the new bone integrates with the existing bone. Follow-up visits are crucial to check progress and prepare the area for the final implant placement.
Common Dental Problems That
Bone Grafting and Sinus Can Address
Gum Disease
Gum disease leads to bone loss, and without enough bone, the implant will not have sufficient support. Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures increase bone volume to prepare for the installation of dental implants.
Receding Gums
Once the gums start to recede, they can pull away from the natural teeth and expose the roots. As a result, it makes the teeth look longer, leading to root resorption.
Bone Loss
When bones don't have the stimulation from tooth roots, they will begin to resorb or break down. This often leads to a decrease in jawbone density and volume.
Socket Infection
When a tooth is extracted, the empty socket left behind can become infected. This can happen if bacteria enter the socket or if a blood clot forms in the socket and becomes dislodged.
