Bone Grafting
for Ferry Pass, Brent, Pensacola, FL & Beyond
Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants. In these situations, most patients are not candidates for placement of dental implants.
This challenge can be addressed through bone grafting, a highly effective procedure that helps regenerate lost bone and improve the jaw's ability to support implants. Bone grafting involves the transplantation of bone tissue to the deficient areas, promoting bone growth and recovery. This procedure not only enhances the structural integrity of the jaw but also increases the likelihood of successful dental implant placement.
Contact us at the Oral Surgery Center of Pensacola if you have any questions or concerns. We offer bone grafting to Brent, Ensley, Ferry Pass, Pensacola, FL, and beyond.
Nerve Repositioning
The inferior alveolar nerve, which gives feeling to the lower lip and chin, may need to be moved in order to make room for the placement of dental implants in the lower jaw.
We now have the ability to augment and grow bone where needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, but it also gives us a chance to restore function and esthetic appearance.
The bone graft procedures are referred to as:
Sinus lift procedure
This procedure involves elevating the sinus membrane and placing the bone graft onto the sinus floor, allowing implants to be placed in the back part of the upper jaw.
Ridge augmentation
In severe cases the ridge has been reabsorbed and a bone graft is placed to increase the ridge height and/or width.
