Accompanying dental implants

For patients who need a dental implant, we will always require that you have sufficient bone in your mouth to place it. Those without enough bone will likely need to have at least one of a few possible treatments performed first.

We will recommend you receive a sinus lift, bone grafting, and a ridge expansion to proceed with the dental implant. Our practice in Newmarket offers these important treatment options to help patients like you on your journey to achieve improved teeth. Dental implants are accompanied by a restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

A ridge expansion for dental implants enhances the amount of bone present at the site of a missing tooth, thereby allowing for dental implant placement. Contact our Newmarket dental practice to schedule a consultation and learn if a ridge expansion in Newmarket, ON, is the proper treatment for you before receiving dental implants.

Why get a ridge expansion?

When a tooth is extracted, the bone that had previously anchored that tooth will be resorbed by the body over time. A ridge expansion is necessary when this bone is not high or wide enough to support a dental implant. If left untreated, the bone may continue to be resorbed by the body, and the pocket will progressively deepen.

That is why our team at Oasispark Dental offers this treatment to patients who need it. If you have any questions, we are here to answer them! If you think you require a dental implant, but you have been told you don’t have sufficient bone to place it, a ridge expansion near you might be the solution. Call or email us today and book an appointment. 

How we perform a ridge expansion 

There are four primary steps involved if you will have a ridge expansion for dental implants.

1. After you have been given local anesthesia, our dentists will make an incision in your gum to reveal the jaw ridge.
   
2. Next, we will separate the jaw ridge and place the bone grafting material into the newly created space.
   
3. Then, we suture the gum tissue together.
   
4. Finally, once the bone graft material has become well integrated into the jaw bone, typically within a few months following the surgery, we will place your dental implant.
