Dental Implant Supplemental Procedures in Henderson, NV

Why Supplemental Procedures May Be Necessary

Supplemental procedures are sometimes necessary to ensure the long-term success and stability of dental implants. These procedures address various factors that can compromise the ideal environment for implant placement, such as:

• Insufficient Bone Volume: Adequate bone volume is crucial for providing a strong foundation for dental implants. Bone loss can occur due to tooth loss, gum disease, injury, or other factors. Supplemental procedures like bone grafting can help restore lost bone and create a solid base for the implant.
• Proximity to Sinus Cavity: When placing implants in the upper back jaw, the sinus cavity can sometimes be too close to the implant site. This can limit the available bone for implant placement and increase the risk of complications. A sinus lift procedure can address this issue by lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone material to create more space for the implant.
• Narrow or Uneven Jawbone: If the jawbone where the implant will be placed is too narrow or has an uneven ridge, it may not provide adequate support for the implant. Ridge augmentation can help build up the bone and create a wider, more stable platform for implant placement.

Supplemental Procedures for Dental Implant Placement

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a common supplemental procedure that involves adding bone material to areas of the jaw with insufficient bone density. This added bone provides the necessary support for the implant to integrate securely and function properly. Dr. Dadon-Harris will carefully assess your jawbone and determine if bone grafting is necessary to ensure the long-term success of your implants.

Sinus Lift

When placing implants in the upper back jaw, the proximity to the sinus cavity can sometimes pose a challenge. If the sinus floor is too close to the implant site, a sinus lift may be necessary. This procedure involves gently lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone material to create more space for the implant, ensuring its stability and preventing complications.

Ridge Augmentation

If the jawbone where the implant will be placed is too narrow or has an uneven ridge, ridge augmentation may be recommended. This procedure involves building up the bone to create a wider and more stable platform for the implant. Ridge augmentation helps ensure the implant has adequate support and can function properly.
