Bone grafting is a common procedure that is frequently required prior to dental implant treatment. It might initially be a bit concerning to learn you need a bone graft, but there really is nothing to worry about. The procedure is painless, since our dentists use effective & safe anesthesia.
Here at EnvySmile Dental Spa, our dental implant specialists have carried out many bone graft procedures and we only use top quality bone grafting materials from trusted sources so your bone graft will be as safe and as comfortable as possible. All the materials we use are CDC approved and adhere to strict guidelines regarding their procurement, processing and sterilization.
Why Have a Bone Graft?
After your natural teeth are extracted the jawbone quickly loses some of its mass and density, becoming thinner and weaker and less able to support dental implants. By having a bone graft, we can build up bone in areas where it is deficient, making sure there is plenty of high quality bone to strongly support your dental implants. This not only helps to ensure treatment is a success, but also provides valuable support for your gum tissues so the overall effect of treatment will be more aesthetically pleasing. It’s often necessary for us to build up the bony ridge that used to support your teeth, making it thicker and higher.
Sinus Lift
Another type of bone graft is called a sinus lift and this is another common treatment that is often carried out in preparation for dental implants being placed towards the back of the upper jaw. This is the area where your sinuses are located and these are large air filled spaces. The size and shape of your sinuses can vary tremendously but often the bone in this area is thinner and weaker and less able to support dental implants.
Carrying out a sinus lift procedure increases the bone in this area, helping to ensure the success of your dental implants. It’s a very straightforward treatment that simply involves accessing the membrane in between your jawbone and your sinus cavities and ‘lifting’ this upwards towards the sinus cavities. This creates a space in between the membrane and your jawbone that can then be packed with bone grafting material.
Determining If You Need a Bone Graft
Not everyone will need a bone graft, but this is something we will determine very early on during your treatment through the use of sophisticated diagnostic tests. These initial tests include a Cone Beam CT scan. This is a specialized dental scan that produces a 3D image of your jaws so we will clearly be able to see the amount of healthy bone available for your dental implants. The image allows us to decide exactly where to place the bone graft and to decide how much grafting material is required.

I am eternally grateful for the help and services I received at Envy Smile. From the moment I stepped through the door, every person in the office seemed catered to making my experience here the most welcoming and efficient whilst ensuring the procedures were painless- achieving the results I wanted. And after doing Invisalign and finally completing it, I got just that. I came with crooked teeth and left with a beautiful straight smile I am absolutely in love with. Thank you so much Envy Smile!

Best dental office hands down! My son and i came here regularly for my cleanings. I also just got my braces taken off. In love with my new smile! The staff is always so welcoming and will do everything in their powers to make you comfortable. Bella did my braces and always just a phone call away when I ever had any questions regarding my treatment.
Advance Planning
All this advance planning helps ensure your actual bone graft procedure is quick and smooth. Sometimes it may be possible to place the dental implant at the same time, but this is generally only the case if a small amount of bone is needed. Otherwise the bone graft will need some time to heal and integrate with your jawbone. Although this may extend the overall treatment time a little, the overall results should be well worth it.
