Sanfilippo Case Study
Dr. Ross J. Sanfilippo, the oral surgeon at SoundView Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of New London, CT, specializes in performing many different types of oral surgery. One of those specialties includes bone grafting, a remarkable procedure that restores bone growth in patients whose jawbones have atrophied.
Oftentimes, a jawbone will atrophy or become reabsorbed as a result of missing teeth. Inadequate bone structure can also be a result of injury, gum disease, or prior extractions. When any of these situations occur, there may be insufficient bone for dental implants to be placed in the patient’s mouth. In this scenario, the SoundView team will go over bone grafting options with you to help grow bone where it is needed in your mouth.
In using this procedure, Dr. Sanfilippo creates a suitable environment in which he will place a dental implant of the proper size. This helps improve functionality so that you will be able to chew and speak comfortably, and it also restores appearance. Your surgeon will use your own bone from a different location, such as the hip, below the knee, or another spot on your jaw. …show more content…
Dr. Sanfilippo will make your procedure as comfortable as possible, and depending on your condition, he may also use special membranes that will promote bone and/or tissue growth to encourage effectiveness.
In every form of oral surgery he performs, Dr. Sanfilippo aims to minimize surgical intervention while using as effective and painless a solution as possible.
