Dental Implants

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, made from titanium, placed in the bone of the jaw to hold a crown, bridge or denture in place. This treatment is dependent on the amount and quality of available bone and gum in the area where the tooth is missing. Before implant therapy, your dentist may need to modify the gum or bone using techniques such as socket preservation, bone grafting or sinus lift.

Dental implants can be used to:

We also perform bone grafting procedures to increase the amount of bone present around the dental implant.

These procedures include:

Sinus lift
When teeth are lost in the upper jaw, we get shrinkage of the gum and bone and expansion of the sinus. This can mean that there is insufficient bone present to place dental implants and we may need to do a sinus lift to increase the amount of available bone
Sinus lift
Where some bone is present, a full sinus lift is not required, and we can modify the sinus position and place the implants at the same time.
