Bone grafting

Serving patients throughout Gaywood, Kings Lynn, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire

Why are bone grafts necessary?

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, Brais Vila Brana , will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

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.

The overall patient experience from checking in with the receptionist,who was both friendly and efficient,to my treatment with the dentist,ably assisted by the dental nurse. No problems or issues were encountered and it was a hassle free appointment. The waiting area,which must see a high volume of footfall during the day,was very clean,tidy and gave an impression of a caring and professional evironment.In the past,at other dental practices where I have been a patient,the waiting area has resembled a jumble sale but not in this practice.Long may it continue!

The dentist made my daughter feel at ease. It was her first injection and a tooth extraction and she felt at ease and safe. It was all done very quickly and efficiently

Dentist was very attentive and could tell I was nervous.Has a tooth the size of a lions pulled out and he made sure it was on “my terms” and if I wanted to stop for any reason to let him know.

Absolutely lovely and friendly

15th December 2024

There were no negative issues. I booked in, didn’t have time to sit in the waiting room before being call in for treatment. Treatment explained clearly, and completed. My next appointment was confirmed, and having thanked the staff, I left.

6th December 2024

Never had any sort of problem with the practice. Polite and friendly staff. The only downside it is becoming expensive for treatment.

4th December 2024

I love my dentist because he knows I'm a nervous patient and he's so kind

3rd December 2024

The whole team is great from the moment of initial contact to signing off treatment. I am on a dental plan so the routine preventative treatments are covered. I always feel reassured and as a nervous patient, more relaxed
