- Dental ImplantsThe need for a Sinus Lift Procedure (Sinus Augmentation) is dependent upon the anatomy of the maxillary jaw bone. To ensure the success of a dental implant in the maxillary arch, it is necessary to have at least 5mm of bone width and at least 7mm of bone height. A Sinus Lift Procedure aids in an attempt to provide the bone mass needed. The healing time of at least six months is required. After the area has healed, the implant process may begin.

- Tooth ExtractionsAfter a tooth extraction, the gum tissue will heal down in the socket before the bone heals in completely. To aid in the prevention of bone resorption, the extraction site is filled with a bone graft material, which reduces gum shrinkage, or the socket maybe isolated with a membrane which aids in the prevention of gum down growth.

- Bone GraftingWhen a tooth is missing, the bone may erode, become weak and may be necessary to have a bone grafting procedure. A bone graft is a step used to enhance the stabilization of a dental implant. Bone grafting material may include the patient's own bone to a Bone Bank Facility. We incorporate a procedure called PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) which we use the patient's own blood to maximize the success of the bone grafting procedure.
