Many studies like the one above show removal of wisdom teeth can improve periodontal status of the remaining teeth. https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/sinus-lift-1 daily 0.75 2020-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1579017405685-5XBPJ54OGSR1J5AHJF41/stahr-oral-surgery-morgantown-bridgeport-fairmont-clarksburg-implant-DDS-bone-graft-west-virginia-3.2.png Sinus Lift - Case #1: Implant placed with simultaneous sinus lift A preoperative CT scan is used with software to plan a virtual implant in ideal position. Different views of the area show the bone height is about 5 to 6mm tall. An implant of adequate height and width was able to be placed. A sinus lift was performed at the time of implant placement to sufficiently support the implant. After a healing period, the patient is ready to have a tooth placed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1579050727670-UMD8ZOUJ6FDYV79U01V0/image-asset.png Sinus Lift - Case #2: Use of CT to plan for a future implant In this case an upper right molar with a root canal has failed and needs extraction. The patient desires an implant to replace it. A CT scan helps evaluate the local anatomy. The image on left is the 3D picture. The right image is a cross section of the failing tooth. The ridge height is approximately 5mm tall. It’s debatable, but many people would say an ideal implant is at least 10mm tall in this area. This helps plan for increasing the vertical height of bone at time of extraction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1579051090215-EBE9JD3Y4ZCG7UP2YY5T/stahr-oral-surgery-morgantown-bridgeport-fairmont-clarksburg-implant-DDS-bone-graft-west-virginia-3.4.png Sinus Lift - Planning software can place an implant and crown in ideal position A virtual implant that is 10mm tall is planned in this site. It shows the need for increased ridge height to better stabilize a future implant. This image helps visualize how much bone is needed to build an ideal ridge for an implant (see below). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1579051615023-VRWCDGCB6UM14CBXMP79/stahr-oral-surgery-morgantown-bridgeport-fairmont-clarksburg-implant-DDS-bone-graft-west-virginia-3.5.png Sinus Lift - Image immediately after extraction with simultaneous sinus lift The three top pictures are cross sections of the ridge. They relate to the green vertical line on the bottom image. The post-operative scan shows the ridge height was raised from 5mm to 10mm. After a healing period, this will allow for placement of an ideally sized implant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1580355376774-L2QOE2HI4O15JUSE9WVG/dr-david-c-stahr-dds-oral-surgery-surgeon-morgantown-fairmont-wv-bridgeport-clarksburg-dental-implant-wisdom-teeth14.png Sinus Lift - Case #3: Missing upper molar with i nadequate bone height Sinus lift bone graft is planned. Virtual planning software helps improve planning accuracy. Guided implant surgery helps place implant in as close to planned position as possible (see slide below). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1580354285744-AU2LUHBDH4BL9N05XGXM/image-asset.png Sinus Lift - Implant placed with simultaneous sinus lift This is the same case as the slide from above. Able to place implant in the planned position. Able to increase the vertical height of bone with a sinus lift at the same time as implant placement (white dome of bone graft at the top of the implant). After a healing period the patient is ready to have a tooth (crown) placed. https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/guided-implant-surgery-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1580352912356-3YFFVRXZUKJE8QNIXV9X/dr-david-c-stahr-dds-oral-surgery-surgeon-morgantown-fairmont-wv-bridgeport-clarksburg-dental-implant-wisdom-teeth10.png Guided Implant Surgery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1580356169349-88DNHZNAKO8H1BYKO6XU/dr-david-c-stahr-dds-oral-surgery-surgeon-morgantown-fairmont-wv-bridgeport-clarksburg-dental-implant-wisdom-teeth16.png Guided Implant Surgery https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/bioactive-growth-factors daily 0.75 2021-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1616026325680-HZZQ98TGQH40Z0H8AAB4/Screen+Shot+2021-03-17+at+8.11.48+PM.png Bioactive Growth Factors Growth factors from a simple blood draw from a patient. https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/bone-grafting-4 daily 0.75 2021-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1615944551949-CHEJQO3FQM6L6CW8PV8P/Screen+Shot+2021-03-16+at+9.15.16+PM.png Bone Grafting An upper premolar was extracted and no bone graft performed. The ridge atrophied as expected. Patient was interested in an implant. CT scan and virtual planning shows lack of bony support for an implant. A bone grafting procedure was performed and after a healing period the ridge had adequate volume to place an implant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1615943441322-JFSKUX1AUI8LIH1WVOOE/Screen+Shot+2021-03-16+at+9.10.30+PM.png Bone Grafting A patient had an upper premolar extracted at a dental office and presented for an implant. No bone grafting had been performed. 3D imaging and treatment planning software can identify the ideal implant position in the existing extraction site. The left image shows that an implant would not have adequate bony coverage for long term stability. The right image is after a bone augmentation procedure was completed to adequately cover and support a dental implant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1615941951664-CTSX3CNU2VBQ3PRZQ0SS/Screen+Shot+2021-03-16+at+8.45.00+PM.png Bone Grafting Molar tooth with root canal therapy with persistent infection. The darkness around the root is active infection causing bone loss. Tooth was extracted and bone grafted. After a healing period the augmented bone ridge had healed and was ready for an implant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1615942085222-J04ZCFV47BM2D5SXJKTD/Screen+Shot+2021-03-16+at+8.47.40+PM.png Bone Grafting A tooth was extracted and no graft was placed. The left and center pictures are pre-graft. A CT scan was imported into treatment planning software with a virtual implant placed in ideal position. This shows a lack of bone to support the implant. A bone graft was placed to augment the ridge. Far right picture is of a CT scan shows adequate bony support for an implant. This is a great example of two things: 1. How bone loss occurs after a tooth extraction and 2. how a bone graft can rebuild a resorbed ridge to allow placement of an implant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1615943295473-UZFAO57V8NZJ3RQ5KFSG/Screen+Shot+2021-03-16+at+9.06.01+PM.png Bone Grafting The left images are of a molar site where a tooth had been extracted at an outside office. No bone graft was performed. Patient presented about a year after the extraction to inquire about getting a dental implant. Cone beam CT scan was taken with planning software to show an implant and crown in an ideal position. This workup shows both the vertical and horizontal lack of bone. A bone graft was performed. Image on the right is the same site after the bone graft had healed. Adequate height and width of bone are available to place an implant in ideal position. Note: the red dot is the nerve, and planning software helps safely identify the nerve and plan and place the implant safely away from it. https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/sinus-lift daily 0.75 2020-01-09 https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/bone-grafting-3 daily 0.75 2020-01-09 https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/prf-and-wisdom-teeth daily 0.75 2023-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf07957eb88c51992ba582/1616028486571-RT3JGLLSDE1GOYEI8817/Screen%25252BShot%25252B2021-03-17%25252Bat%25252B8.11.48%25252BPM.jpg PRF and Wisdom Teeth https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/asymptomatic-wisdom-teeth daily 0.75 2021-05-18 https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/privacy daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/home-text daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/terms-of-use daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.stahroralsurgery.com/learn-more daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b44e4e5365f02ee34e659ec/1538164929007-7W6QTGRJ4ZUF9IPE33RP/grid-image-d.png Learn More
