Lack of bone volume is addressed using various bone-gaining techniques, also known as bone grafting procedures. The bone grafting procedures include techniques such as guided bone regeneration, autogenous block grafts and sinus lifts.
Bone volume is one of the key factors required to achieve a successful implant result. In certain circumstances, there may not be sufficient bone to place the implant and bone-gaining techniques are employed to increase and enhance both the bone volume and the quality. The techniques used range from guided bone regeneration to sinus lifts to autogenous block grafts.
Book this Treatment Back to Dental ImplantsGuided bone regeneration (GBR) is the use of bone substitute material and membranes to create a platform for the body to grow new bone. The bone substitute material is either animal-derived, such as Bioss, or mineral, such as Ethoss.

Sinus cavities can extend considerably and result in bone height deficiencies; however, they also offer a unique opportunity to gain bone by lifting the membrane lining the sinus. This presents with a specific response, and that is, bone grows in the resulting blood clot formed by the lifting process. The lifting technique can be either a crestal approach or a lateral window approach. In the crestal approach, the lining is lifted through the implant hole created. The lateral window approach requires a bigger access to the sinus by creating an opening on the side of the sinus, and the lining is lifted that way. This is usually reserved for severe bone deficiencies.

Autogenous block grafts are harvested from the patient and are transposed to the needed site, where they are fixed in place using bone screws. The bone will act as a scaffold for the body to produce new bone in the site.

Thank you to Antonio and the team at IQ Dental. My dental implants look amazing, and the care, kindness and professionalism shown were exemplary. You’re all amazing. Thank you.
Not a big fan of the dentist – but Fabrizio was amazing. I had an extraction, literally no pain. It made the whole experience calming. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough.
I care about my dental health very much. IQ Dental is one of the best dental practices I have used. I have been to Harley Street and Wimpole Street, London dentists, but IQ Dental truly surpasses them all! Thank you, IQ Dental.
I have been going to this dental practice for quite a few years now, with a gap post-COVID where I tried a different, slightly more local one. Suffice to say, I returned pretty quickly to IQ Dental, where you walk in and feel like you’re in a comforting, holistic clinic rather than a dentist’s waiting room! The service is consistently outstanding, from the welcome you receive from the lovely receptionists to the superb skills of the dentists and hygienists, particularly Antonio, who is amazing. I have recently had a dental implant, all carried out by Antonio and would not hesitate to recommend him. A thorough and highly skilled dentist who makes sure everything is done to the highest standards, with outstanding care and attention. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
