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.

Only 1 gentleman on reception as 3 staff off for various reasons. He did a great job kept calm under pressured circumstances. Coped with phone booking appointments and paying.

My dental problem was resolved at minimal cost but it was explained that rather more expensive treatment may be required if this procedure fails.

3rd September 2025

The staff were pleasant and greeted me when I walked in.The smell in reception was amazing.There was a member of staff who asked another patient if he wanted a drink from the coffee machine, he asked if it did an Americano, she said it did, “I’d love one but I don’t know how to work the machine, the moment of staff said no problem, I can make one, the other patient was over the moon, I was impressed over her attention to the little detail.( the member of staff was pregnant, I mention this because I didn’t get her name)

2nd September 2025

I have been at the practice for about fifty years and I have never had anything but courteous professional treatment, I am more than satisfied with the practice

2nd September 2025

Friendly staff

1st September 2025

First visit/check up was scheduled via a text message as part of a six monthly review. The dentist was very clear and professional in his approach, as always. The reception staff then scheduled the hygienist/cleaning for the following day. A number of options were offered. Cleaning was thorough and additional information was given regarding brushing technique. A new 'machine' was used in the cleaning and this incurred an additional fee; thankfully a very small additional fee. The waiting room is clean and comfortable; magazines are available to read, but with the appointments running to time, there was little time to really get into an article.
