Bone Grafting for Dental Implants in Gurugram
If you have been told you do not have enough bone for dental implants, bone grafting can restore the foundation needed. Dr. Supreet Kaur Sawhney — Senior Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon at Fortis Hospital Gurugram — specializes in bone grafting, ridge augmentation, and sinus lift procedures, enabling patients who were previously told implants were impossible to successfully receive them.
What Is Dental Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds or repairs bone in the jaw to create a stable foundation for dental implants. When teeth are lost, the surrounding bone gradually shrinks and loses density. Without sufficient bone volume, implants cannot be placed safely. Bone grafting restores this bone — allowing implants to be placed once healing is complete.
Bone Grafting Procedures Available
Ridge Augmentation
Rebuilds the width and height of the jawbone where teeth have been lost, creating a suitable base for one or more implants.
Sinus Lift
Adds bone below the sinus cavity in the upper jaw — necessary when there is insufficient bone height for upper jaw implant placement.
Socket Preservation
Performed immediately after tooth extraction to prevent bone loss by filling the empty socket with grafting material.
Zygomatic Implants
In cases of severe bone loss, zygomatic implants anchored in the cheekbone provide a fixed solution without requiring extensive bone reconstruction.
