Major and Minor Bone Grafting at
Sandia Oral Surgery and Dental Implant
Center in Albuquerque New Mexico
Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing
teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a
condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of
bone suitable for placement of dental implants. In these
situations, most patients are not candidates for placement
of dental implants.
We now have the ability to grow bone where needed.
This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants
of proper length and width, it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and esthetic appearance. The
bone graft procedures are referred to as:
Sinus lift procedure
This procedure involves elevating the sinus membrane and placing the bone graft onto the sinus floor,
allowing implants to be placed in the back part of the upper jaw
Ridge-augmentation
In severe cases the ridge (jawbone) has been resorbed (worn down) and a bone graft is placed to increase
the ridge height and/or width.
