[b][East Sheen, 19, February 2016][/b] – For patients who have missing teeth, Sheen Dental Implants prepares them for dental implants with its sinus lift and bone expansion services. Both procedures improve bone density and ready the mouth for the additional teeth or tooth.

[b]Bone Expansion[/b]

Patients who may need dental implants may lack the necessary jaw bone density or width for a dentist to place the new tooth properly. Bone density and width are important because these provide stability for the implants, ensuring they last long. Sheen Dental Implants’ bone expansion procedure expands the area of the jaw where the dentist will place an implant.

The practice will expand the walls of the bone that form the prospective place for the implant using a series of instruments; one such site is the front of the upper jaw. The dentist will drill a small hole through the centre of a chosen section, then fill it with bone or insert an implant. The enlarged area creates a firm foundation for the new tooth.

A patient may also get a bone graft in conjunction with the expansion procedure for optimal results. Bone expansion is an effective and safe way that makes sure an implant lasts long.

[b]Sinus Lift[/b]

Before inserting a dental implant, some patients may need surgical preparation in their upper jaw to make sure there is adequate bone tissue to secure a new tooth. When a patient has had no teeth for some time, the surrounding bone and tissue start to disappear. Sheen Dental Implants uses a sinus lift to remedy this problem.

A sinus lift is an oral surgical procedure that extends into the sinus cavity above the jaw and packs bone graft material into the space. This will create a solid structure similar to actual bone. After a waiting period, the dentist will check the site if it has adequate bone density to place a new implant.

Sheen Dental Implants’ sinus lift and bone expansion procedures, as well as their other services, will prepare a patient for a dental implant that improves their dental health.
