Would you like a dental implant to restore your appearance and oral health back to its former glory? Have you been told by another dentist you need a bone graft?
Whether a cavity has reduced your tooth to nothing, your left with gummy space after tooth removal or gum disease has caused you to lose teeth, a bone graft will be necessary to repair and rebuild your damaged bone.
This will be to ensure your mouth and jaw is strong enough to support a dental implant FOR LIFE!
Here at the Gentle Dental, we are implant specialists and know the concern patients have when it comes to pre-implant procedures.

So, what exactly does dental bone graft involve?Basically, a dentist or oral surgeon will make an incision in the jaw and will attach a bone or alike materials to the jaw, where it has been lost.
This treatment is incredibly common for patients who have lost one or more of their adult teeth to accident, trauma or gum disease.
Conditions like gum disease and periodontal disease are powerful enough to deplete bone density, resulting in jawbone loss and causing other teeth to become loose or wobbly, increasing the likelihood of further tooth loss.
The most recommended approach to treatment is using bone from your own body, whether it’s the hip, tibia or back of the jaw. These autografts are the “gold standard” as they promote faster healing and new bone formation.
When jawbone loss has occurred, it takes place near the upper molars, which encourage the sinuses to move down creating space for the new bone.
Here, the bone graft will restore stability in the upper jaw while the sinuses are pushed back into their correct position.
Depending on where you choose to carry out your treatment, the cost of bone grafts can vary greatly.
Here, at our practice, we charge from £400, depending on the severity and the amount of bone in your jaw and will ensure your aftercare requirements are dealt with appropriately.
There is also the possibility that if you choose to have your implant surgery with us too, that we can combine a lot of these additional procedures and can incorporate these costs into your final bill.
After booking a consultation with us, we will be able to inform you realistically about the costs of your entire treatment.
