Bone Grafting

Creating a Strong Foundation For Implant Dentistry

Bone Augmentation means we can grow and ‘bulk out’ bone to allow us to place implants.

Our Procedures

The implant & surgical team at Ascent Dental Care Loughborough have vast experience in the use of bone augmentation techniques to grow bone and create increased volume and structure.

Bone augmentation procedures can be carried out to restore bone height and width which will ultimately mean successful placement of dental implants where once this would not haven possible. We use a variety of bone augmentation materials and techniques at Ascent Dental Care Loughborough:

Bovine Bone
Irradiated human bone – similar to that used in hospitals for hip replacements and such like
Man-made ‘artificial’ bone

Patient Tailored Care

We will select materials based on individual needs, indicated by the proposed final result. Bone augmentation can often be carried out at the same time as implant placement, which reduces the need for additional treatment sessions.

We gently place and manipulate the bone into the tooth socket or around the area where we need to create more volume and then close your gum tissue over the top. The area will be left to ‘fuse’ and the bone will form a matrix whereby your own bone tissue will grow around it, ultimately making one type of bone indistinguishable from the other.

We understand that every patient is different and we will work hard to make sure that we find an augmentation solution that suits you based on your health and current bone formation.

I broke off a very old crown but Ascent gave me an appointment really quickly. Thorough examination and x-ray shows it can’t be replaced but explained why so, and given various options to consider. Another appointment booked in next week to progress. Very satisfied with the overall patient care provided.

Missing Teeth Impact
Function & Aesthetics

Many patients put up with the embarrassment and discomfort of missing teeth for many years. This can sometimes be due to gum disease, traumatic tooth loss or excessive wear and tear. To add insult to injury, very often patients will complaint that their appearance is altered.

This is because jawbone may have receded quite dramatically around the areas where teeth are missing (after all, the jawbone is present to hold the teeth in place, once teeth are missing, it will start to shrink back). This process can leave patients with vastly reduced bone volume, this in turn can cause cheeks to sink & hollow as there is no bone available to support the soft tissue.

Of course, in implant dentistry, we do require a strong foundation of bone into which to place implants and this is where we rely on bone augmentation techniques.

Jyoti and Alex made me feel really comfortable when having my composite bonding done and the results are amazing. I only wanted a subtle change to my teeth and a natural look, would highly recommend this practice.

Mandy Darcy

Thank you so much ! From the first step into Ascent Dentist I was welcomed and reassured that I would be treated to suit my fears. I am terrified of the dentist but after meeting the receptionist,the nurse then the actual dentist I felt that I could actually go through with my treatment. I had an initial examination then was advised what treatment I needed. I felt so relieved that I agreed to have the treatment. I made my appointment for root canal and fillings under sedation! WOW! On the day of treatment I arrived and was put at ease by all welcoming,smiling staff,it really is a good environment! Had my treatment and taken. Home_ no side effects but best of all no pain. I would recommend ASCENT Dentist to anyone afraid or not. Thank you for making this the best dental experience. Mrs D’Arcy.

Fantastic professionalism and flexibility to suit my demands. I was booked in originally to have some routine maintenance carried out but then after looking at the cosmetic services that Ascent provide decided to opt for Veneers. Perfect job carried out and a big thanks to all.

Jenny Townend

Couldn’t recommend highly enough from the lovely reception staff to the professional and calming dentist who did my root canal treatment today. I was originally referred as I was a very nervous patient and wanted sedation. But after meeting the dentist he assured me I would cope under local anaesthetic which I did and the whole procedure was totally painless. Thank you.
