Our Bone Grafting treatments help rebuild and strengthen the jawbone where bone has been lost due to missing teeth, gum disease, trauma, or long-term denture use. Healthy bone is essential for supporting your natural teeth and providing a stable foundation for dental implants. Using advanced techniques and carefully selected grafting materials, we can restore bone volume and create the ideal conditions for long-term oral health and successful implant treatment.
Bone Augmentation is a procedure used to increase the amount and quality of bone in areas where there is insufficient bone to support a dental implant. Bone loss can occur naturally after a tooth has been missing for some time or as a result of infection or injury. By rebuilding the jawbone, bone augmentation improves both function and aesthetics while creating a stable foundation for future restorative treatment.
Ridge Preservation is performed immediately after a tooth has been extracted to help maintain the natural shape and volume of the jawbone. Without treatment, the bone surrounding the extraction site can gradually shrink, making future tooth replacement more challenging. Ridge preservation helps minimise bone loss and preserves the structure of the jaw, improving the options available for dental implants or other restorative treatments.
Following a tooth extraction, Socket Preservation helps protect the empty tooth socket by placing bone grafting material into the extraction site. This encourages healthy bone regeneration and reduces the natural bone resorption that occurs after tooth loss. Socket preservation can improve healing, maintain the surrounding gum and bone tissue, and provide a stronger foundation if a dental implant is planned in the future.
Guided Bone Regeneration is an advanced technique used to encourage the body to regenerate new bone in areas where it has been lost. During the procedure, specialised membranes and bone graft materials are used to protect the healing area and promote predictable bone growth while preventing unwanted soft tissue from interfering with the regeneration process. Guided bone regeneration is commonly used alongside dental implant treatment to ensure there is sufficient healthy bone to support a long-lasting restoration.
Every patient’s needs are different, which is why we begin with a comprehensive consultation and detailed assessment of your oral health. Using modern diagnostic technology, we carefully evaluate your jawbone and create a personalised treatment plan designed to achieve the best possible outcome.
Our experienced team uses evidence-based techniques and high-quality grafting materials to restore lost bone safely and effectively. Throughout your treatment, we will explain each stage of the procedure, answer your questions, and provide detailed aftercare guidance to support comfortable healing and long-term success.
