Bone and sinus treatment

Serving patients throughout Southampton, Fareham and Park Gate

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, our dentist, will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

Pre-treatment

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.

Sinus lift

If there is not enough space to fit a dental implant in your upper jaw, our dentist may recommend a sinus lift. This involves moving the sinus membrane upwards to create space in your bone for your new tooth. Once the membrane has been moved, a bone graft will fill the space that has been created to make a suitable space for your dental implant.

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

Fantastic dental practice! Always so warm and welcoming. Lovely reception staff, nurses and dentists. In particular, Dr. Anya was absolutely brilliant with our young son and made his appointment very special. Thank you so much to all the amazing team and we look forward to seeing you all again.

The friendliness of the staff and how they put an anxious patient at ease, with their calm informative approach. Anya made me feel safe. I could raise my hand at anytime for a break, the treatment was unrushed. The outcome exceeded my expectations.

The whole team, from the reception staff to the dental nurse, dentist and hygienist where friendly and welcoming. Each one in turn explained in detail what procedures they were going to be doing using language which I could understand and relate to. As soon as you walk into the practice there is a very calm atmosphere and it is carried throughout by all the staff that I have had the pleasure of meeting.

My experience so far with attending Titchfield Dental Health is one of complete satisfaction. All of the staff are friendly, nice and caring and highly professional, in my experience. Also, there is never any pressure felt to take any particular treatment, as they seem to care most about you receiving the right treatment where needed and only if recommending a treatment is necessary for your wellbeing or in the case of cosmetic reasons there is also never any pressure, just advice and options. My thanks to Rick Norton today for sorting an ongoing traumatised tooth of mine. I wasn't expecting it to be that easy but I am now pain free. Thank you Rick.

A brilliant dentists, from the friendly reception staff who make you feel like an old friend, to the fantastic dental nurses and finally the super dentists. Have had 3 dental implants and they all went really well, no issues at all, in fact was traipsing round London two days after the last one with no bother at all. Great place and have been a patient there for more years than I now care to remember…

This is by far the best dental practice I have been to. As someone who has always had a fear of the dentist, I am always made to feel welcome and safe. Anya takes extra care to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. I have recently had braces and the results are amazing, I am super happy with everything. Anya and Jenny have made the whole experience a positive one for me. And Ruth has taken extra care and time to make me feel more comfortable when I’m in my hygienist appointment. Thank you so much to the whole team for continuing to make my visits to the practice positive ones
