Additional Grafting Procedures

In some cases, additional grafting procedures may be necessary to ensure the success of your dental implants:

• Bone Augmentation: If the jawbone lacks sufficient density or volume, bone grafting can be performed to build up the bone structure. This may involve using bone from another part of your body or a synthetic material.
• Sinus Lifts: Sinus lifts are performed when there is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw, particularly in the area of the molars and premolars. There are two types of sinus lifts:
  • Internal/Vertical Sinus Lift: This less invasive method involves lifting the sinus membrane from within the area where the implant will be placed. It is typically used when only a small amount of bone needs to be added.
  • External Sinus Lift: This procedure involves creating an opening in the lateral wall of the sinus to lift the membrane and place the bone graft. It is used when a larger amount of bone augmentation is required.

Modern Technologies in Implantology

At Minty Dental Health Center, we stay at the forefront of dental technology to provide our patients with the best care possible. One such innovation is the use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) in oral surgery.

• Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): PRF is a byproduct of your own blood that is rich in growth factors and proteins. It is used to enhance healing and tissue regeneration during implant and grafting procedures. By utilizing PRF, we can reduce healing times, minimize complications, and improve overall outcomes.
