Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is an essential procedure often performed in conjunction with dental implant planning. When the natural bone volume is insufficient, bone grafting is incorporated to address the deficiency. At ICS Dental Studio, Dr Skaf utilises bone grafting techniques to rebuild and augment the jawbone, providing a solid foundation for successful dental implant placement. This procedure is planned carefully to ensure optimal results and long-term implant stability. Bone grafting is necessary when there is insufficient bone volume, preserving the jawbone and enhancing the overall success of dental implant treatments.

During the bone grafting procedure at our East Hills dental practice, a small incision is made in the gum tissue to access the underlying bone. Then, bone graft material, which can be synthetic, from a donor or taken from the patient’s own body, is placed in the deficient area. The graft material serves as a scaffold, providing support and stimulating the natural growth of new bone cells. Over time, the grafted bone integrates with the patient’s existing bone, creating a stronger and healthier foundation for dental implants or other restorative treatments.

After the bone grafting procedure, a healing period is necessary for the new bone to develop and mature. This can take several months; during this time, the patient’s oral health and hygiene should be carefully maintained. Following successful bone grafting, patients can proceed with dental implant placement or other necessary dental procedures, restoring function and aesthetics to their smiles.

Socket Grafting

Socket grafting, or ridge preservation, is recommended after tooth extraction to prevent bone loss. By placing bone graft material in the empty socket, we maintain the shape and density of the jawbone. This procedure ensures optimal conditions for future dental implant placement, preserving your oral health and supporting long-term tooth replacement solutions.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions (with IV Sedation)

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often cause pain, infection and overcrowding. Dr Skaf specialises in the extraction of wisdom teeth, using IV sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure in East Hills. Wisdom tooth extraction is essential to prevent further complications, such as damage to adjacent teeth and gum disease.

Gum Grafting around Receded Teeth and Implants

Gum recession can result from gum disease, aggressive brushing or genetics. Gum grafting addresses receding gums using tissue from your mouth or a donor source to cover exposed tooth roots or implants. This procedure restores gum tissue, reduces sensitivity, and improves the appearance and long-term health of teeth and implants, hence your smile.

Gum Lifts for Gummy Smiles

If you’re self-conscious about excessive gum exposure when smiling, a gum lift can help. Also known as a gingivectomy or gum contouring, this procedure reshapes the gum line to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. Gum lifts are ideal for individuals with a ‘gummy smile’, enhancing their confidence and overall facial harmony.

Sinus Lifts 

When there is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw for dental implants, we may recommend a sinus lift. This procedure involves lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material to create a solid foundation for implants. Sinus lifts enable patients with bone loss to receive successful dental implant treatment, restoring their ability to chew, speak and smile with confidence.
