Bone and sinus treatment

Serving patients throughout Solihull, Shirley and Knowle

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it shrinks from lack of stimulation and can change the shape of your mouth. Loss of bone can also be caused by gum disease, tooth development defects, trauma, and by previous dental procedures where efforts were not made to restore natural bone.

Before dental implant treatment can begin your dentist will first need to check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully. If there is insufficient bone you may need to have pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts.

At your initial consultation our implant dentist, Marek Skalka , will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

Pre-treatment

Bone expansion

Your dentist may recommend a bone expansion if your jawbone is too narrow for a dental implant to be fitted. This involves making a small hole into your jawbone where your implant will eventually sit and using bone graft material to widen and strengthen the bone. The bone will be left to heal before a dental implant can be successfully installed.

Bone graft

Bone grafting is a treatment that is used to strengthen the area of bone your dental implant will be inserted into. This involves taking bone from elsewhere in the mouth and placing it in the area to be strengthened. After a number of months, this will fuse together, creating a stronger base for your implant.

Sinus lift

If there is not enough space to fit a dental implant in your upper jaw, Marek may recommend a sinus lift. This involves moving the sinus membrane upwards to create space in your bone for your new tooth. Once the membrane has been moved, a bone graft will fill the space that has been created to make a suitable space for your dental implant.

Once Marek is happy your bones and gums are healthy, your dental implant treatment can begin.

Previously fitted crown became detached over Christmas, this appointment was to determine whether it could be refitted. Unfortunately the root filling has split and therefore refitting was not possible. Temporary filling applied and appointment for root extraxtion confirmed.

A last minute appointment because of a very sharp edge to a molar. Vik was willing to see me but he required a Covid test first because l had a cough. I was happy to do this but the first receptionist forgot and it was the end of her shift. However the reception with the long hair gave me the test and l was then able to see Vik. I have already recommended Dr and Mrs Hutchinson to your practice.

AS always the reception staff are professional, kind and helpful. The practice extremely clean and well maintained. My dentist Marek is as always professional, knowledgeable and his advice is valuable and I feel at ease and confident. The hygienist as always professional, friendly and helpful.My time at the dental practice is a very good experience. I have two points of interest, the new way of conducting the clean with the hygiene appointments with the water for me was different and less painful as I have sensitive teeth, I was kept informed as to what it was, why being conducted and the swapping of the older system to this new regime. I do find my gums have receded a lot more after this first initial appointment, some of my teeth now are highly sensitive and very stripped, with my veneers now having gum recession and showing the 'black' dead tooth outline, areas where I had filled resin added for aesthetics is now very pitted in some places, the stripped (porous effect) was explained would happen and to a avoid beverages like tea and coffee for a few hours. Also parking is a problem. But still does not detract from being and excellent practice. Thank you.
