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.

Not being the best of Dental patients l was immediately made to feel at ease and in good hands by Rick Norton one of the Dental surgeons . After a consultation a plan was drawn up for future treatment and shortly after a very satisfactory financial estimation for that treatment received. A very friendly and professional atmosphere makes me feel l have made the right choice for my future dental treatment.

As a previous very anxious patient who had a genuine fear of visiting the dentist I can now say that I do not fear attending any appointment. Even if I need actual treatment I feel confident in attending and then reassured throughout the appointment

I have always had great service and help from the team there. Carmen has been amazing with my implant surgery putting me totally at ease during the whole process. Both the dental nurses who have attended have been very efficient as assistants and the practice is a happy place.

Attended with my 13yr old daughter. She can be quite a nervous patient. Rick was amazing. He made her laugh, was reassuring, did her first x rays and cleaned her teeth. She is more than happy to go back there.

I suffer with extreme sensitivity and have had to have numbing gel applied before having the high pressured water treatment. This particular appointment with the Hygienist included a new method for cleaning/plaque removal which I found to be painless, effective and didn't need any numbing gel!

very pleasant, efficient an friendly surgery.

23rd October 2024

Everyone is helpful, kind, and friendly. I never feel rushed during my appointments, there’s always time for a little chat which I appreciate. And I feel like the staff share their knowledge, they always answer any questions whether they’re just curious questions or pertinent to your treatment.
