Can the implants be placed at the same time as bone grafting/augmentation/sinus augmentation?
Whenever possible John Grummitt will combine the implant placement with bone grafting and/or the placement of a barrier membrane or synthetic material and place all the materials at the same time. This considerably reduces treatment time and can produce results that are difficult to achieve any other way. However, sometimes it is necessary to carry out bone grafting/augmentation/sinus augmentation as a distinct stage, so that the implants are only placed when the procedure(s) has been successful. Whatever method is chosen to improve the bone quantity the time, effort and expense is generally well worthwhile. However the amount and quality of the bone generated will to some extent depend on your bodies response to these treatments and each case will therefore be dependant on your body successfully generating new bone in the treated area.
