In areas where the bone loss is extensive, a separate bone grafting or bone implant procedure may be necessary to regain the bone foundation. We provide a large range of bone grafting services restoring single tooth sites to the entire mouth.
Often, patients have been told by others that there is nothing that can be done for them. If you are wondering if you are a candidate, please contact us for an evaluation.
Bone implants or bone grafting consist of a host of procedures that allow us to rebuild the bony defects and regain a solid foundation to support the new tooth implant. When a tooth is removed, the extraction socket may benefit from bone grafting regardless of whether a tooth implant is to be placed or not. It is, however, more important for the bone graft to be placed when a replacement tooth implant is inserted at the time of the tooth extraction. For areas where the tooth has been lost for some time, the site may have already have experienced bone loss. In these cases, a different type of bone graft will be required to rebuild the lost tissue volume.
Bone graft material is considered a type of bone implant. They vary in size and shape. The bone graft material may come from human tissue, animal tissue as well as synthetic sources. Regardless of the types of bone grafts, it should be appreciated that the bone-implant material that we use is strictly regulated. They have been highly sterilized and processed to be safe for human use according to safety guidelines prescribed by Health Canada. It is possible to regain enough bone and transform from a severely atrophic or broken down mouth to one that can support multiple tooth implants and fixed crowns and bridges.
Dr. Liang has a specific interest in the most challenging cases of bone grafting and restorative reconstruction.

A bone implant is a surgical procedure to replace missing teeth with a titanium implant that is anchored in the jawbone.
The length of the bone implant procedure varies depending on the individual case, but it usually takes several months from start to finish.
Discomfort is usually not a problem during the bone implant procedure. You will be given appropriate medications during and after the procedure to manage any pain.
You may be without your teeth for several days after the bone implant procedure. However, we will make sure that in the interim period, you look and feel very natural.
Yes, bone implants are a safe and effective solution for missing teeth, with a high success rate and long-lasting results.
The cost of bone implants varies depending on the individual case, including the number of implants needed and the type of restoration required.
Like any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection or complications with bone implants. However, with proper care and maintenance, the risk is minimal.
With proper care and maintenance, bone implants can last a lifetime. However, they may need to be replaced or repaired if they become damaged or infected.
There is no minimum age for bone implants, but the jawbone must be fully developed before the procedure can be performed. This typically occurs in the late teens or early twenties.
The extent of insurance coverage for bone implants varies depending on the individual policy. It is important to check with your insurance provider to determine what is covered.
