Surgical Bone Reconstruction in Winchester, MA

Winchester Periodontics & Implantology provides surgical bone reconstruction for patients who need ridge form and volume restored before or in coordination with oral implants. Dr. Robert Mehanna, D.M.D., practices specialty reconstructive care — not general dentistry. Bone reconstruction is one of four focus areas in this office, together with oral infection therapy, oral implants, and oral plastic surgery.

When teeth have been missing, or when advanced infection has damaged the jaws, the alveolar ridge may be too narrow or too short for stable implant placement. Reconstruction aims to rebuild that foundation so restorative plans developed with your referring doctor can proceed on sound bone.

Ridge augmentation

Ridge augmentation addresses deficiencies in width or height of the maxillary or mandibular ridge. Grafting approaches are selected after clinical examination and imaging. The goal is a contour that allows implant positioning compatible with the final prosthesis — not a one-size protocol.

Sinus bone grafting

In the posterior maxilla, sinus anatomy and limited bone height can prevent conventional implant placement. Sinus bone grafting creates or restores volume when implants are planned in that region. Suitability depends on medical history, sinus status, and the restorative objective.

How bone work connects to the other pillars

Complex oral infection may have caused the bone loss that now requires reconstruction; regenerative infection therapy often precedes or accompanies grafting. Oral implants rely on adequate bone; oral plastic surgery may refine soft-tissue form around reconstructed sites. Patients hear one coherent plan rather than fragmented “dentist visit” messaging.

Consultation

Expect discussion of history, findings, imaging as indicated, sequencing, and coordination with your restorative dentist. Healing time and interim tooth replacement are reviewed before surgery is scheduled. Outcomes vary; we do not guarantee results.
