Benefits of Dental Bone Grafting & Sinus Lifts

It can be disappointing to learn that you are not a dental implant candidate. However, with bone grafting and sinus lifts at Hite Family Dentistry, we open the door to the possibility and numerous benefits.

Improve Implant Success

Bone grafting and sinus lifts provide the necessary bone support for dental implants, significantly increasing the success rate of the procedure. By enhancing bone volume and stability, these procedures create a strong foundation for long-lasting implants.

Restore Jaw Function and Structure

These procedures help rebuild your jaw's natural contours, which can be compromised due to bone deterioration from missing teeth. Restoring bone volume supports implants and helps maintain a full appearance of your face and jaw.

Enhance Oral Health and Prevent Problems

Bone grafting and sinus lifts prevent further bone loss, maintain proper alignment of remaining teeth, and reduce the risk of additional oral health problems. This proactive approach helps preserve your overall oral health for years to come.

Jawbone Health Is Crucial to Implant Success

Dental implants require a strong, stable foundation in the jawbone. If you’ve been told bone density in your jaw is insufficient, procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts can help create the necessary support for implants. These treatments may make you a good candidate and improve the chance of long-term implant success so you can enjoy the benefits of a secure, natural-feeling tooth replacement.

Advanced Technology for Precision

Our skilled dental implant dentist in Edwardsville will use advanced digital imaging to conduct a thorough examination, assess your bone structure, and determine the best course of action. If you're a good candidate, we'll propose a treatment plan, answer your questions, and ensure you feel informed, confident, and at ease with our recommendation.

At Hite Family Dentistry, your comfort and understanding of your treatment are our top priorities. From your initial consultation to post-procedure follow-ups, we will support you and communicate clearly for a stress-free experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental bone grafting is a procedure we may recommend to add volume to weak areas of the jawbone due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. At Hite Family Dentistry, we may also use it to preserve the socket after a tooth extraction, maintaining the bone structure for future implant placement.

What to Expect During Bone Grafting

After a thorough examination to determine if you're a good candidate, we place bone material into the weak area of the jaw. This material can come from your body, a donor, or synthetic sources.

After we place the graft, the healing process begins. Over several months, the graft integrates with your existing bone, creating a strong, stable foundation.

We'll monitor your progress during healing, and once healed, the site will be ready for implant placement.

Sinus Lifts for Upper Jaw Implants

Our dentists may recommend a sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation, if there is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw to place an implant. When the sinus floor is too close to the jaw or insufficient bone, this procedure creates the space needed for implant placement.

During a sinus lift, our dentist gently raises the sinus membrane and then places bone graft material in the newly created space.

At Hite Family Dentistry, our dentists will do everything to make implant placement possible for you. Please call our Edwardsville, IL, dental office to schedule a consultation.
