Bone Grafting in Coral Gables, FL 

When Is Bone Grafting Needed?

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure often necessary before getting dental implants. This process is essential when a patient does not have sufficient natural bone in the jaw to support an implant. This lack of bone can be due to various reasons, such as periodontal disease, tooth loss, or trauma.

How Bone Grafting Works

The procedure involves taking bone from another part of the patient's body or using a bone grafting material and grafting it onto the jawbone. Over time, this graft creates a stronger and more stable base for a dental implant. Our Coral Gables dentists use state-of-the-art techniques to ensure the graft fuses effectively with the existing bone, providing a solid foundation for future dental implants.

Sinus Lifts: A Specialized Form of Bone Grafting

When Is a Sinus Lift Needed?

A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is a specific type of bone grafting. It is necessary when the sinus wall is too thin to accommodate a dental implant in the upper jaw. This procedure is particularly relevant for implants in the back of the upper jaw.

The Sinus Lift Procedure

Our experienced Coral Gables dentist carefully lifts the sinus membrane and adds bone grafting material underneath it during a sinus lift. This elevates the sinus floor, providing sufficient space and bone density to place dental implants securely.
