Bone and sinus treatment

Serving patients throughout Stroud, Nailsworth, Stonehouse, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Gloucestershire

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it shrinks from lack of stimulation and can change the shape of your mouth. Loss of bone can also be caused by gum disease, tooth development defects, trauma, and by previous dental procedures where efforts were not made to restore natural bone.

Before dental implant treatment can begin your dentist will first need to check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully. If there is insufficient bone you may need to have pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts.

At your initial consultation our implant dentist, our dentist, will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

Pre-treatment

Bone expansion

Your dentist may recommend a bone expansion if your jawbone is too narrow for a dental implant to be fitted. This involves making a small hole into your jawbone where your implant will eventually sit and using bone graft material to widen and strengthen the bone. The bone will be left to heal before a dental implant can be successfully installed.

Bone graft

Bone grafting is a treatment that is used to strengthen the area of bone your dental implant will be inserted into. This involves taking bone from elsewhere in the mouth and placing it in the area to be strengthened. After a number of months, this will fuse together, creating a stronger base for your implant.

Sinus lift

If there is not enough space to fit a dental implant in your upper jaw, our dentist may recommend a sinus lift. This involves moving the sinus membrane upwards to create space in your bone for your new tooth. Once the membrane has been moved, a bone graft will fill the space that has been created to make a suitable space for your dental implant.

Once our dentist is happy your bones and gums are healthy, your dental implant treatment can begin.

I was really concern about my tooth I thought it was falling out the dentist phoned at the weekend and I was booked in at 0815 on the Monday

3rd February 2026

I made a mistake about the date of my appointment which was scheduled for the following week. The receptionist was sympathetic and said there was cancellation at the same time if I would have a different hygienist. I was very grateful and accepted her offer. The Hygienist looked at my notes previous to my arrival and after the usual questions proceeded with treatment. Excellent manner and technique. Thank you

I had a dental emergency - I rang at 9am on Monday , was seen by lunch time with an emergency filling scheduled for the next day. The dentists were brilliant - friendly and explained everything - great service for a nervous patient. All staff were friendly, efficient and helped the process run smoothly.

2nd February 2026

My appointment was as ever conducted with the upmost care and consideration . My questions were answered in a most satisfactory way. My treatment is carried out in a very professional but friendly manner.

31st January 2026

Was surprised by the questions asked regarding my preference of a hygienist and felt I was listened to with respect and courtesy and it meant I felt I was not judged by my responses and was put at ease and that It was ok to talk as I was in a safe environment which I realised was very important

31st January 2026

Started with the friendly reception staff. Once I had been taken in to see the Dentist, both he and his dental nurse did everything to put me at ease and explain the treatment I was about to receive. The Dentist then carried out my implant placement with a minimum amount of pain. Afterward the treatment he took as much time as I needed to explain how I should look after the affected area post treatment and the best way to deal with any pain I should experience (not needed as it turned out). Lastly I received a phone call the following day from reception to check that everything was Ok and that I had no problems which was a nice, unexpected courtesy.

Hard to say anything bad about the place. Incredibly kind, friendly, helpful staff who have helped me on the right path since I stated at the practice 3 years ago. My dental health has vastly Improved since going on the practice plan which to me seems like a bargain as I no longer need to pay for filings. Couldn’t recommend this place more

22nd January 2026

I was made to feel welcome and relaxed and knew I could ask anything if I needed to. This is also the first dentist I've been to that I've not been petrified before my appointment
