At Rae Implant Dentistry, we specialize in advanced bone augmentation procedures that create the foundation for successful dental implant placement. When tooth loss occurs, the surrounding bone often deteriorates over time, potentially compromising implant stability. Our specialized bone and sinus treatments restore proper bone volume and structure, making implant placement possible even in challenging cases.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting, also known as ridge augmentation, is a surgical procedure that adds bone tissue to the jaw to improve its strength and support dental implants. This is often necessary when there's insufficient bone volume in the area where implants are planned due to factors like tooth loss, gum disease, or injury.

• Creates a solid foundation for dental implant placement by rebuilding lost jawbone
• Utilizes various grafting materials including synthetic bone, donor bone, or your own bone tissue
• Prevents further bone deterioration following tooth loss
• Improves facial aesthetics by maintaining proper jaw contours
• Typically performed several months before implant placement to allow for proper healing

The bone grafting procedure at Rae Implant Dentistry is performed with precision using advanced techniques to ensure optimal results. We carefully evaluate each patient's unique situation to determine the most appropriate grafting material and approach.

Sinus Lift

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw area where the teeth are, specifically between the jaw and the maxillary sinuses. This procedure is often necessary when there's insufficient bone in the upper jaw, which can make it challenging to place dental implants.

• Increases bone height in the upper posterior jaw by adding bone graft material below the sinus cavity
• Creates sufficient bone structure to securely anchor dental implants in the upper jaw
• Essential for patients who have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth or periodontal disease
• Allows for implant placement in areas previously considered unsuitable
• Performed with specialized techniques to minimize discomfort and optimize healing time

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP is a by-product of blood (plasma) that is rich in platelets. Traditionally, this advanced treatment was confined to hospital settings due to the cost of separating platelets from blood and the large volume required. Now, thanks to new technology, Dr. Rae can harvest and produce a sufficient quantity of platelets from just 55 cc of blood, drawn during your outpatient procedure.

• Utilizes your body's own growth factors to accelerate healing and tissue regeneration
• Enhances bone grafting procedures for dental implants, including sinus lifts
• Assists in repairing bone defects created by tooth extraction, small cysts, and fistulas
• Creates a more predictable outcome for complex bone regeneration cases
• Can be performed conveniently during your scheduled procedure

Our team at Rae Implant Dentistry utilizes state-of-the-art techniques for all bone and sinus treatments. These specialized procedures are performed with the highest standards of care to ensure optimal healing and create the ideal foundation for your dental implants. By establishing proper bone volume and quality, we can help you achieve a successful, long-lasting implant solution.
