BONE GRAFTING RECONSTRUCTION
Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality or insufficient quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants. In these situations, most patients are not candidates for placement of dental implants.
​
Today, we have the ability to grow bone where needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetic appearance.

Bone Grafting
​
Bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease or injuries. Where possible, bone is taken from elsewhere in your jaw and placed at the implant site. In addition, special membranes may be utilised that dissolve under the gum and protect the bone graft and encourage bone regeneration. This is called guided bone regeneration or guided tissue regeneration.
"I chose the Cedar Clinic for my orthodontic treatment as it was recommended to me by my dentist. The practice was and still is very friendly and as I was a very nervous patient the staff and particularly Sharan Gill, the orthodontist, always very calming and patient with me. I would recommend the Cedar Clinic to anyone – I also had whitening treatment and a wisdom tooth taken out at the practice. Sharan always takes an interest in me. She makes me feel more like a friend than a patient. Keep up the good work."
