Bone and Sinus Grafts Brentwood, Essex
Your Smile’s New Foundation
You need a strong and healthy jaw to give your dental implants maximum support. The pressure from biting and chewing can take its course, so the foundations of your smile must be strong. Unfortunately, when teeth are lost, resorption occurs, weakening the jaw and leading to bone deterioration.
When teeth are absent, the body removes minerals from the bone that once supported them, resulting in a thin and depleted jaw.
If you need dental implants but lack sufficient jaw support, a graft or sinus lift can stimulate regrowth and renew the bone’s strength.
BOOK CONSULTATIONUnderstanding Bone Grafting
Often referred to as “bone augmentation,” bone grafts rebuild diminished bone using small pieces of natural or synthetic bone placed onto the depleted area.
Over a few months, the additional bone fuses with your jaw, creating a sturdy foundation capable of supporting an implant.
Comparing Bone
Graft Types
There are several different bone graft procedures. An autograft uses pieces of bone harvested from elsewhere in your body. It fuses quickly because it’s a direct match to your existing bone.
Where it’s not possible to use an autograft, we can use a biocompatible synthetic material. This type of graft delivers excellent results but can take longer to bind to your jaw firmly.
Sinus lifts are specific grafts used on the upper jaw. The graft is placed near the back teeth between the upper jaw and sinus membrane, allowing us to place implants in your upper jaw.
Your Bone Graft
Before proceeding with your bone graft, we’ll take scans of your jaw to assess bone density.
When performing the graft, we’ll give an anaesthetic first so you feel comfortable throughout.
For an autograft procedure, we’ll carefully harvest a small amount of bone near the treatment area. Next, we’ll skillfully place it in position and seal the site.
This will take a few months to heal. We’ll check on your recovery process before booking you in for your smile-enhancing dental implant surgery.

My experience at Smile HQ was the best!! Sasha and Charlotte were amazing from start to finish. They made me feel so comfortable and at ease, I would highly highly recommend going here! I had composite bonding and I am over the moon with my results. They really listen to what you are after and if anything exceeds all expectations. I’m very happy!
I had the best experience at Smile HQ. The customer service was excellent and everyone was very professional and friendly. Pola and Charlotte made me feel very comfortable during my treatment and my end results are amazing!
This is a wonderful practice. I was seen at short notice because I was in pain and could not get an appointment with my regular dentist and it was well worth the one hour journey to get there. Dr Sasha, Nurse Stephie and Holly and Claire on reception could not have been more welcoming and kind. I had x Ray and antibiotics and everything was unhurried and explained in detail. Thank you all so much.
With the sorry state of my teeth, being embarrassed and somewhat scared, the staff at Smile HQ have gone above and beyond themselves in making me always feel at ease. Talking me through all the different stages that they are doing. I really couldn’t ask for better people. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anybody. You will not go wrong choosing Smile HQ.
Receptionist Kiera is an absolute delight to talk to. So refreshing from your ordinary rude front of house receptionists, lovely attitude and very helpful.
I saw Dr Bal and have been so pleased with my treatment. He really listens to what you want to achieve and speaks through your treatment plan in so much detail. Very natural results which is what I wanted 🙂 Couldn’t recommend him enough!
Both Hannah and Charlotte looked after me very well. The best hygienist appointment I’ve had with no discomfort at all. Anyone who’s scared of going to the dentist has nothing to worry about here. Great coffee too!!
Couldn’t be happier with the care and treatment I’ve received at Smile HQ. All the staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, excellent customer service! I couldn’t be happier with my new smile thanks to Dr Pola and his team! Felt so comfortable and at ease with pola. He was very professional and did an amazing job!
