Dental Bone Grafts in Plymouth
If your tooth or teeth have been missing for a while, your jawbone can shrink, in which case you may not have enough bone for a dental implant to be fitted.
A bone graft may be needed to enhance your jawbone’s strength and density and provide a stable foundation.
Our Principal Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst, is an internationally trained Cosmetic Dentist who has just celebrated 40 years in dentistry.
Dr Bronkhorst has advanced training in placing Dental Implants, is an experienced Invisalign Provider, and has a special interest in Sedation for nervous patients.
From our state-of-the-art clinic near Mutley Plain, we serve patients from across Ocean City, including Plympton, Plymstock, Stoke Village and Derriford, and are conveniently located for those travelling from Saltash, Torpoint and Ivybridge.
Dr Bronkhorst can perform Bone Grafts and Sinus Lifts, saving you the need to be referred to other dentists.
A dental bone graft involves using synthetic material to increase the volume of your jawbone. This synthetic bone prompts your body to form new bone, and after a year or two, it is completely replaced by your own bone.
Although healing can take several months, it ensures long-term implant success.
If you’re concerned about the cost, we offer affordable financing plans, including 0% finance, starting from less than £15 per week.

Dental Bone Grafts FAQ
What is a dental bone graft?
Dental bone grafts involve grafting (adding) synthetic material to your jawbone so that there’s enough bone for your implant to be fitted.
How painful is a dental bone graft?
Local anaesthetic is used to carry out the procedure so that there is no pain during the surgery. If you prefer, sedation is also available.
Afterwards, there may be some slight pain, discomfort, or swelling for a few days, which can be treated with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long after a bone graft can I have the dental implant fitted?
The bone graft takes 3-6 months to heal and harden enough to receive the dental implant.
Where do you get the bone from?
We use the latest technique for stimulating new bone growth – a stem cell-based synthetic material similar to your natural bone. As your new, natural bone regenerates, it replaces the synthetic material.
How much does a dental bone graft in Plymouth cost?
Dental Bone Grafts at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre start from £695.
What happens after Bone Graft surgery?
After your appointment, your face may feel slightly swollen or tender for a few days, and you may be prescribed antibiotics to prevent any infections.
For the first two weeks:
• Try to avoid physical exertion. Sports, heavy lifting, etc.
• Try to avoid alcohol and spicy/acidic food.
You’ll then have a follow-up appointment with us after 14 days for a check-up and to have your stitches removed.
What our patients say about us
