Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts in Tampa Palms

Have you been told you don't have enough bone in your jaw to get a dental implant?

At All Dental Tampa Palms, we believe dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement, and everyone deserves the opportunity to benefit from them. That's why our board-certified oral surgeon, Dr. Ross Freeman, offers bone grafting and sinus lift procedures that can make implants possible for those who have been told they aren’t good candidates.

Building a Foundation for Implants

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone for stability. If you have been living with tooth loss for some time, your jawbone will naturally begin to shrink and lose density. This process is called resorption.

This is where bone grafting and sinus lifts make all the difference. These specialized procedures rebuild and strengthen the jawbone, creating the solid foundation needed for successful implant placement.

 

Benefits of Bone Grafting Procedures

A bone grafting procedure is not nearly as complicated as it may seem and offers numerous benefits, including:
Improved Implant Success
Bone grafting creates the strong foundation needed for implant integration and stability. Ensuring sufficient bone volume and density increases implant success and durability so those who were previously not candidates can enjoy the life-changing benefits of permanent tooth replacement.
Restored Jaw Function and Structure
Supplementing bone with a grafting procedure helps rebuild the jaw’s natural contours and prevent the collapsed facial appearance that often accompanies jawbone loss. By providing better support for facial muscles and tissues, the restored jaw structure helps maintain a more youthful appearance.
Enhanced Oral Health
Bone loss can compromise adjacent teeth, change your bite, and create pockets where bacteria thrive. Grafting procedures prepare the jaw for implants, stabilize existing teeth, prevent further bone deterioration, and create a healthier environment that benefits all aspects of your oral health.

Bone Grafting: A New Implant Foundation

The grafting procedure involves adding bone material in areas of the jaw that have experienced bone loss. Adding the graft to the area lacking density creates a scaffold that the body transforms into new, natural bone over time.

What to Expect with Bone Grafting

The bone grafting procedure is comfortable and straightforward, with the help of local anesthesia and sedation options if desired. Dr. Freeman uses the latest techniques, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which uses concentrated platelets from the patient's blood to stimulate new tissue growth and repair.

The bone grafting procedure is followed by a healing period of 4–6 months as your body creates new bone before implant placement. Our dental team is always available to answer questions and address concerns during this time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many patients are surprised to learn that bone grafting is typically much more comfortable than they anticipate. At All Dental Tampa Palms, we prioritize your comfort throughout the bone grafting process.

During the Bone Grafting Procedure

Dr. Freeman, our board-certified oral surgeon, ensures your complete comfort during bone grafting through:

  • Effective Anesthesia — The area is thoroughly numbed before beginning any work
  • IV Sedation — For anxious patients, Dr. Freeman offers in-house IV sedation that creates a deeply relaxed state where you'll feel little to no discomfort and may not remember much of the procedure
  • Expert Technique — Dr. Freeman's advanced training and experience allow him to work precisely and efficiently.

Most patients report feeling pressure during the procedure but not pain.

What to Expect after Bone Grafting

Following bone grafting, you can expect:

  • Mild to moderate discomfort for the first few days, typically well-managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication
  • Gradually decreasing sensitivity as healing progresses
  • Personalized aftercare instructions to minimize discomfort and promote proper healing

Dr. Freeman often incorporates PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy into bone grafting procedures. This advanced technique uses your body's own healing factors to encourage faster recovery and reduce post-operative discomfort.

Supportive Care for Bone Grafting

Our multilingual team ensures your bone grafting experience is as comfortable as possible. We're always available to address concerns before, during, and after your procedure in English, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, or other Slavic languages.

Sinus Lifts: Making Room for Upper Implants

In some cases, the upper jaw may not have enough bone height available to place an implant. In this case, Dr. Freeman may recommend a specialized grafting procedure called a sinus lift or sinus augmentation. By gently lifting the sinus membrane in the area and placing a bone graft under it, we create the vertical height needed for upper jaw implant success.
