Bone Augmentation
Augmentation replaces missing bone. When your jawbone has receded or lost its shape we can often augment it to replace missing bone and help new bone to grow.
Depending on where and why bone loss has occurred, we select the appropriate procedure, which can include:
- Sinus graft or lift
- Bone grafting
- Ridge preservation
Sinus grafts and lifts thicken the wall of bone that forms the upper jawbone and the floor of the sinus. Bone grafting replaces the height and width of the jaw where bone tisses have receded. Ridge preservation fills the empty socket of an extracted tooth.
