Dental Implants & Bone Grafting
Dental implants planned and placed with surgical precision — including bone grafting where jawbone density needs building up first.
What it involves
A dental implant only succeeds if the bone supporting it is adequate — something years of missing teeth can quietly erode. Dr. Pund's surgical background covers both the implant placement itself and the bone grafting some patients need beforehand, including sinus lift procedures, planned entirely on CBCT imaging so depth, angle and bone quality are known before surgery begins.
BenefitsWhy patients choose this treatment
- Treats cases other clinics may consider too complex
- Bone grafting restores a stable foundation for implants
- CBCT-guided planning improves precision and safety
- A single surgeon manages grafting and implant placement together
What to expect, step by step
- CBCT Imaging3D imaging assesses bone volume, density and the ideal implant position.
- Grafting (if needed)Bone grafting or sinus lift builds up the site where density is insufficient.
- Healing PeriodThe graft integrates with existing bone over a period of months.
- Implant PlacementThe implant is placed once the site is ready to support it long-term.
Signs this treatment may help you
- Missing teeth with noticeably reduced jawbone
- Told elsewhere that implants aren't possible due to bone loss
- Needing an upper back-jaw implant near the sinus
- Wanting one surgeon to manage grafting and placement together
Healing & aftercare
Grafting sites need a healing period of a few months before implant placement, with follow-up imaging to confirm the bone is ready. Mild swelling after each stage is normal and settles within days.
FAQFrequently asked questions
Bone grafting can rebuild the site over a period of months, after which an implant can be placed with proper support.
It's performed under local anaesthesia and is generally well tolerated, with manageable swelling for a few days afterward.
Timelines vary, but grafting typically needs three to six months to integrate before implant placement.
Yes, a fresh CBCT-based assessment often identifies options like grafting that weren't previously discussed.
