Bone Expansion

How does it work?

Cosmetic dentistry offers treatments and procedures for individuals seeking improved dental structure and help. Specially when those individuals don´t have enough bone for a dental implant.

However, a bone expansion can sometimes be used if the area of bone is too narrow to house an implant and may sometimes be used as an alternative or in conjunction with a bone graft.

The bone in the prospective implant site can be expanded outwards by using a series of instruments. This procedure will allow to expand the walls of the bone.

This procedure can be done in selected areas like the front of the upper jaw. A small hole is first drilled though the center of the selected area. It can be filled with bone or an implant can be immediately inserted into the hole.

This procedure can be done in front of the upper jaw and in selected areas. After this, the bone expansion area is much larger than it was before the bone expansion.
