About Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts

What Is a Bone Graft?
A bone graft involves placing bone material into the jaw to strengthen it for dental implants. It provides a stable base for implants when the existing bone is insufficient.

What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift is a specialized procedure that raises the sinus floor and adds bone to the upper jaw, allowing successful placement of dental implants in areas where the bone is too thin.

Why Are These Procedures Necessary?
These treatments are essential for patients who have experienced bone loss and need dental implants. They prepare your jaw for long-term implant success.

For patients with a history of gum disease, periodontal maintenance is usually recommended every 3 to 4 months to maintain oral health and prevent further issues.

Why Is It Important?

Dental Membranes

About Dental Membranes

What Is a Dental Membrane?
A dental membrane is a biocompatible barrier used in surgical procedures, such as bone grafts or tissue regeneration, to protect the area while promoting healing.

How Do They Work?
Membranes prevent unwanted cells from invading the surgical site, allowing the new bone or tissue to grow effectively during the healing process.

Why Use Dental Membranes?
Dental membranes are crucial for successful outcomes in surgeries involving bone and tissue regeneration, ensuring that the area heals properly.
