What is bone augmentation:
Bone graft adds bone or bone-like material to your jaw, ensuring stable placement for dental implants. The graft integrates effectively over a few months.
Failing to replace a missing posterior tooth quickly causes significant jaw bone loss. Specifically, when you lose or extract a tooth, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate, which can then lead to the shifting of adjacent teeth, making chewing difficult. Additionally, missing multiple teeth can further limit your ability to maintain a nutritious diet.
The Benefits of Dental Implants:
However, dental implants not only protect jaw bone density but also support overall oral health. Consequently, you should learn why replacing lost teeth with implants promptly is crucial to prevent bone loss and ensure a healthy bite.
At Mona Lisa Smiles, we offer a range of customized bone augmentation options:
- Bone Grafting: We use bone from your chin, hip, or shin, or a mix of cadaver and synthetic materials.
- Sinus Lift: This procedure increases your upper jaw height by filling the maxillary sinus with bone.
- Ridge Expansion: We broaden your jaw with a bone graft to support implants.
- Distraction Osteogenesis: A titanium device gradually widens your jaw.
Expert Guidance and Commitment to Excellence
Our team at Mona Lisa Smiles guides you through the process, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience. As leaders in London, we are fully committed to achieving the best results.
The Importance of Timely Implant Placement
As a result, placing dental implants soon after tooth loss is crucial for optimal outcomes, with integration typically taking 4-6 months.
