Solutionz Bone Graft

The success of a dental implant and its ability to support a dental restoration is very much
dependent upon how much bone is available in the site where the implant is placed. There are
lots of conditions that may affect the bone volume, including destruction from periodontal
disease, trauma, and infections and it is not unusual to open up a site in the mouth for implant
placement to find that some of the critical supporting bone is missing. No problem....we have
great techniques available to us to replace missing bone. We can increase the height of bone
and the width of bone. We can fill in anatomical voids in bone, thereby creating new bone for
you, and we can fill in all sorts of defects that develop when teeth are lost. We can even use
grafting techniques to prevent the loss of bone in circumstances where bone would normally
be lost, like the extraction of a tooth.

Replacing missing bone or adding to existing bone is often essential to the success of a dental
implant and the ensuing restoration. The techniques to do this are well documented and should
be used when indicated by any dentist who places dental implants. Our specialist will have a
good idea when additional bone or bone repair will be necessary before the actual placement
of a dental implant starts and the patients will be informed of this possibility. Sometimes, we
perform a CT scan to evaluate the bone in one's mouth. This provides us with precise
information and prevents us from any guess work or any surprises during procedures.
