Dental Bone Graft and Sinus Lifts in Plymouth
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.
Sinus Lifts FAQ
What is a Sinus Lift?
You may need a sinus lift procedure if there’s not enough bone height in your upper jaw or your sinuses are too close to your jaw for dental implants to fit.
A Sinus Lift is where synthetic bone is added between your jaw and the sinuses on either side of your nose so that there’s enough bone for your implant to be fitted. The sinus membrane has to be moved upwards or “lifted” to make room for the new bone.
How painful is a Sinus Lift procedure?
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.
After the procedure, please try not to blow your nose or sneeze for the first two weeks, as this may cause the sinus lift to fail.
Would having a Sinus Lift change my facial appearance?
If you’ve had teeth missing for a while, a sinus lift with implants will cause your jaw bone to start reversing bone loss and the sunken look that goes with it.
How long after a Sinus Lift can I have a dental implant fitted?
Though you will feel fine within a couple of weeks, the sinus lift must heal and harden for 3-6 months before the implant can be fitted.
Can a Sinus Lift fail?
Although most sinus lift operations are successful, they can fail if the synthetic bone material fails to integrate with your natural bone.
One of the biggest dangers is the added bone material becoming dislodged during healing, so you are told for the first two weeks not to blow your nose or try not to sneeze.
Where do you get the bone from for a Sinus Lift?
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 it cost for a Sinus Lift in Plymouth?
Sinus Lifts at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre start from £2499.
