Bone grafting restores the jaw density required to support dental implants. We assess your suitability and the necessary timescales during a consultation with Dr Ope Sodeinde.

Finding out you have insufficient bone density can feel like a setback when you want to replace missing teeth. Bone grafting is an essential step in dental restoration and implants, adding bone tissue to areas of the jaw affected by bone loss. We provide this as a foundation for those who cannot support an implant without additional volume. If you are unsure if you are suitable, our oral surgery in London services include an examination to determine your needs. We use diagnostic imaging to identify the exact area of loss. Dr Sodeinde assesses your jaw structure to plan the most effective way to maintain proper tooth alignment.
Choosing the wrong approach to bone volume can lead to implant failure. We prevent this through specialist-led planning, which confirms the site is clinically viable before any procedure begins. This diagnosis-first approach protects you from unnecessary costs and confirms the treatment is the right choice for your anatomy.
Our team, including the specialist periodontist, manages complex cases across the practice, providing bone grafting and wisdom teeth removal, and assessing and referring for orthognathic (jaw) surgery when needed. A consultation lets us assess your specific needs and provide a transparent, itemised cost for your care.

Many people feel a sense of discomfort or anxiety when discussing bone loss. Bone grafting is often necessary for those who have lost jaw density due to tooth loss, surgical extractions, or cyst and tumour removal. We assess your specific anatomy to determine if you are a candidate. This clinical evaluation also addresses concerns regarding nerve damage or the nature of a serious diagnosis. Your specialist periodontist determines the most appropriate approach during your visit. We use local anaesthetic during the procedure.
We begin by assessing your current bone levels. This determines if you are suitable for the procedure. We may refer you for biopsy procedures if the clinical evidence requires it.
We map the exact area where bone is missing, so the graft provides the necessary support for future restorations. We also review if you need simple tooth extractions before we start.
The clinician places the bone material into the jaw. We use local anaesthetic to manage discomfort during the process. We are honest about the fact that some patients experience minor complications, which we monitor closely.
Your body now integrates the graft into your natural jaw. This stage takes time. We schedule follow-up visits to track your progress and check the site is healing correctly.
We perform a final check to confirm the bone is stable. Once the density is sufficient, you can proceed with your restorative treatment. Dr Sodeinde oversees this transition to confirm the foundation is secure.
We use 3D imaging technology to plan surgery and check the optimal placement of implants. Our clinical lead, Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), oversees a team that provides surgical extractions, simple and multiple teeth extractions, and wisdom teeth removal alongside bone grafting.
We focus on the professionalism and clinical precision required to resolve complex jaw and gum issues. Our team provides honest options in a calm, unhurried manner. This approach extends to our wider oral surgery services, including assessment and referral for TMJ surgery.
London Dental Specialists helped me with my gum problems, and I now consider the issue resolved. Previously I had tried all sorts of things on my own, but I needed Ope and team's professional help and expertise.
Ope was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and took the time to provide me with all the information I needed about my gum treatment plan.
