Bone Grafting

12/01/2013 smile-admin Bone Grafting, Products and Services Comments Off on Bone Grafting

Some patients undergoing Precise Smile’s dental implant surgery will require bone grafting to replace lost bone in the upper or lower jaw. In doing so, bone grafting material is placed in the extraction sites of teeth that have been removed to regenerate new bone over the next few months of healing. Precise Smile offers bone grafting procedures on-site for our patient’s comfort and convenience.

Our on-site, state-of-the-art, facility provides digital imaging, laboratory service, surgery, and follow-up treatment. A ConeBeam CT (dental scan of bone, tissue, teeth) establishes the true condition of teeth and facial bones. Next, 3D models, or dental impressions, of a patient’s bone structure will be manufactured from the digital CT scan. Digital diagnostics, design and manufacturing of the dental implants enables microprecision prosthetics, surgical guides and treatment. All done in the comfort and convenience of our office.

Improving & Upgrading Existing Prosthetics

Quite often patients come to Precise Smile, from other dentists, because their existing appliances/prosthetics are unsatisfactory or do not function properly. Precise Smile can create new teeth with ideal esthetics and functionality and attach them to existing dental implants. If this is in the patient’s best interest, fine-tuning or improving the existing implants allows the patient to have the smile they desire and eat their favorite foods without undergoing another surgical procedure.

If you currently have existing dental prosthetics, and are unhappy with the results, please set up an initial consultation via phone or fill out the form on our website.

Precise Smile’s Sinus Lift Procedure

Max_sinuses
Some patient’s undergoing Precise Smile’s dental implant surgery will require a sinus lift due to lost bone in the upper jawline. In this procedure, bone grafting material is used to fill lost bone in the upper sinuses. Bone regeneration occurs over the next 6 to 9 months and is needed in order to support the new upper teeth and implants. Precise Smile offers the sinus lift procedure on-site for our patient’s comfort and convenience.

Why Is a Sinus Lift Procedure Needed?

A maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedure (known informally as a sinus-lift or sinus procedure) is a surgical technique performed by a dental specialist to increase the amount of bone in the upper jaw bone. There are several reasons for wanting a greater volume of bone, but the most common reason is to prepare the site for the future placement of dental implants.

A sinus augmentation (sinus lift) is performed when the floor of the sinus is too close to an area where dental implants are to be placed (there is not enough bone present). This procedure is performed to ensure adequate bone is available for placement and stability of upper dental implants. Lowering of the sinus can be caused by: long-term tooth loss without the required treatment, periodontal disease, trauma and infections.

Precise Smile does offer alternatives to the sinus lift procedure in which four implants are placed in both arches (upper and lower), eliminating the need for sinus lifts to anchor dental implants. Treatment and bone health varies from patient to patient so a consultation with a Precise Smile specialist is necessary to determine the best treatment plan.
