What Are Supplemental Procedures?
Supplemental procedures are additional treatments that may be required to prepare your mouth for dental implants. Oral decay and periodontitis (an aggresive form of gum disease) can lead to tooth and bone loss, which may prevent an implant from being safely secured in the jawbone. These procedures ensure the best possible foundation for your new smile. Common supplemental procedures include:
- Bone Grafting
- Sinus Lifts
- Ridge Augmentation
Our Approach to Supplemental Procedures
At AZ Implant & Denture Center, we take a personalized approach to every patient’s care. Dr. Cooper will thoroughly assess your oral health to determine if any supplemental procedures are necessary for your dental implant treatment. We prioritize your comfort and long-term oral health in every decision we make.
Bone Grafting
If you’ve experienced bone loss in your jaw, a bone graft may be necessary to create a stable foundation for your dental implant. Our in-house dental lab allows us to provide efficient and precise bone graft surgery, minimizing your wait time for implant placement.
Sinus Lifts
Sinus LiftsFor patients requiring implants in the upper jaw, a sinus lift might be recommended if there isn’t sufficient bone height or if the sinuses are too close to the jaw. This procedure creates more space for the implant while protecting your sinuses.
Ridge Augmentation
Ridge AugmentationWhen tooth loss leads to a narrow or uneven jawbone ridge, ridge augmentation can help rebuild the bone to its former width and height, creating an ideal site for implant placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Healing times vary depending on the specific procedure and individual factors. Ossteointegration, the process of bone graft material integrating with your natural bone, usually take three to six months. We’ll provide you with a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Coverage varies by insurance plan. If bone grafting is deemed medically necessary, it may increase your ability to obtain full or partial coverage. Be sure to check with your provider. Many dentists also offer financing options to help make payment easier.
Not always. The need for supplemental procedures is determined on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes, alternative implant options are available for those with low jawbone density without a bone graft, depending on the location of your missing teeth. Your dentist will thoroughly evaluate your oral health to determine the best treatment plan for you.
