East Lyme Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery specializes in a variety of surgical procedures that will improve your oral health and the appearance of your smile. Bone GraftingSuccessful implant treatment requires a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw. We may recommend a bone graft if your bone is too thin or too soft to support an implant. A graft can help restore deteriorated bone, and give you a second chance at implant treatment!

PRP allows us to take advantage of the healing properties in your blood by isolating the growth platelets. This makes it immensely beneficial following a bone graft. It can also be an excellent tool for the regeneration of soft tissues. Learn more about platelet rich plasma Sleep ApneaSleep apnea is defined as the repeated cessation of breath during sleep. In some cases, sleep apnea can be a potentially life-threatening disorder. Severe cases of sleep apnea often require surgical intervention.

There are multiple steps we take before we give the green light for fitting implants and one of these steps is known as ridge augmentation. Ridge augmentation is a form of bone graft surgery that is done to repair your alveolar bone which is necessary for sturdy implants.
