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.

Once Brais is happy your bones and gums are healthy, your dental implant treatment can begin.

A warm welcome from reception staff , cheerful waiting room . Positive approach from the Dentist with constructive advice and encouragement and not least conscientious assistance from Dental Nurse . I have been a patient here for some fifteen years and the practice scores highly in relation to previous experience elsewhere.

31st March 2025

I had a visit to the hygienist who was friendly and I explained that I had to reschedule my appointment because I had a severe attack of neuralgia which meant that I could not attend the original appointment. She was very understanding and advised me of various aids and procedures I could use to help with the hygiene of my teeth and gums

Khem Joshis is my Dentist, after a bad experience previously with another dentist, Khem has made me less fearful of going. There's no judgement and he makes my visit calm and reassuring.

The efficient of the reception team, booking the appointment, I think her name was Gemma. The dentist and his nurse was both lovely and kind.

Very friendly practice. It was the first time I’d seen Mo - he was great.

25th March 2025

After a long period of unsettlement regarding the treatment I had previously received, Mo has given me confidence from the offset to hopefully resolve my tooth pain.

My dentist, Jolanda and her lovely nurse were kind, gentle and supportive before, during and after treatment. The extraction was far less traumatic than others I experienced with the NHS and care was taken by both members of staff to make it as pleasant an experience as possible.

21st March 2025

Treated with courtesy, everything explained. More or less to time.

21st March 2025

From first contact to completion of treatment the staff are always fantastic. I felt like I was valued as a patient and was treated with respect and friendliness.

I have had a deep fear of the dentist and having not been for 15 years I was embarrassed at my dental health. From the first phone call to reception I was put at my ease. I had work done including extractions which were totally pain free! Dr Alif was kind professional and made me feel as relaxed as was possible as did the dental nurse. I look forward to the completion of my new smile. If you have a phobia or feel embarrassed don't delay in booking the anxiety in your head is no match for skill and care at Lynn Road Dental Practice Thank you all.

I have been a patient over ten years and have been seen by My current dentist for six years. Being a nervous patient at first the car I received during the first few visits was outstanding and this has continued to this day. I very much appreciate the advice given by Brias when we first chat and he reassures me every time when I have either questions or need advice. Overall I’m 100% satisfied

15th March 2025

Khem and Jeanette where brilliant. I’ve always been scared of dentists but khem explained everything they where going to do which put me more at ease. Have to go back for a filling in a fortnight but I am sure I won’t be as scared. Thank you Khem and Jeanette.

14th March 2025

All areas are always clean, reception staff and dentist/hygienist are so friendly and reassuring. My only ‘issue’ is how much everything costs but at least I’m registered at a dentist.

13th March 2025
