BONE GRAFT
Bone Grafting for Stronger Smiles
At Gentle Touch, we’re committed to ensuring that every step of your dental journey is as comfortable and supportive as possible. If you’re considering a dental implant but need additional support, a bone graft might be the solution for you.
What is a Bone Graft?
A bone graft is a procedure designed to enhance the density of your jawbone, providing a solid foundation for your dental implant. This treatment is essential when there isn’t enough healthy bone to securely hold the implant in place.
Safe and Effective Materials:
We use high-quality materials, such as bovine, porcine, or vegan-derived options, that safely fuse with your bone and tissue. Our team will discuss these choices with you, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable with the process.
What to Expect:
Comfort Throughout:
We prioritise your comfort during the procedure. Our caring team will take the time to explain each step and answer any questions you may have.
Healing and Recovery:
After the bone graft, your body will work to integrate the grafted material with your existing bone. Once this process is complete, we can proceed with placing your dental implant (if same day implant placement is not suitable).
Benefits of Bone Grafting:
Enhanced Stability:
A successful bone graft provides a strong foundation for your dental implant, ensuring its long-term success and stability.
Improved Functionality:
With a stronger jawbone, you’ll be able to chew and speak more effectively, enhancing your overall quality of life.
Natural Aesthetics:
Bone grafting can restore the natural contour of your jaw, giving you a more balanced and youthful appearance.
Long-lasting Results:
Investing in a bone graft can prevent future complications and the need for more extensive treatments, providing you with peace of mind.
If you have any concerns or questions about bone grafting or how it fits into your overall treatment plan, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you every step of the way toward a stronger, healthier smile!
SINUS LIFT
Sinus Lift for Enhanced Implant Support
At Gentle Touch, your comfort and care are our top priorities. If you're considering dental implants but your upper jaw doesn't have enough bone height or if your sinus cavity is too narrow, a sinus lift may be recommended. This procedure helps ensure a successful implant placement, allowing you to achieve a healthier smile.
What is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift is a specialised procedure designed to create the necessary bone height in your upper jaw, providing a solid foundation for your dental implants. This treatment is essential when existing bone structure isn't sufficient to support the implant.
What to Expect During the Procedure:
Gentle Care:
Our experienced team will guide you through every step of the procedure, ensuring you feel informed and at ease. We understand that dental procedures can be daunting, so we are here to provide a calm and reassuring environment.
Creating Space for Your Implant:
During the sinus lift, we will gently lift the sinus membrane and create space in your upper jaw. This space is then filled with bone grafting material, which will eventually integrate with your existing bone, creating a strong foundation for your dental implant.
Benefits of a Sinus Lift:
Improved Implant Success:
By increasing bone height, a sinus lift significantly enhances the chances of successful dental implant placement, giving you peace of mind.
Restored Functionality:
With a strong foundation for your implants, you’ll be able to enjoy eating and speaking with confidence once again.
Natural Aesthetics:
A sinus lift can help restore the natural contour of your jaw, contributing to a balanced and youthful appearance.
Long-lasting Results:
This procedure can prevent future complications related to insufficient bone, saving you from more extensive treatments down the road.
If you have any questions or concerns about the sinus lift procedure, please don’t hesitate to chat with one of our team. We’re here to support you every step of the way toward a successful and fulfilling dental experience!
