Bone and tissue regeneration
Bone and tissue rebuilding or reconstruction for lost bone and gum volume
If you have lost a tooth it is always accompanied by bone and tissue loss to some degree.
When replacing teeth with dental implants, we always consider how to minimise this loss and to replace lost bone and tissue as well as the tooth for long term stability.
I need a dental implant but do not have enough bone
If you have lost a tooth and the bone around it, it is often possible to rebuild bone and gum housing at the same time as a dental implant is placed. If a large amount of bone has been lost then we normally reconstruct this first before a dental implant can be placed.
During this time, we do not forget about the fact that you need to eat and smile in public. We will ensure that we provide durable provisional teeth so that you can continue to function and look presentable during your bone and gum reconstruction.
What bone and tissue augmentation (grafting) techniques are available?
We use different techniques to restore volumes of bone and gum that have been lost depending on the shape, dimensions and position of the bone defect and the quality of the gum tissue around it.
A thorough assessment of your case is necessary to ensure that the ideal approach is recommended. We provide the following range of bone and soft tissue augmentation:
-Particulate bone augmentation
-Sinus bone augmentation
-Block bone augmentation
-Soft tissue augmentation
-Own tissue (connective tissue augmentation and free gingival grafting)
-Collagen products
