Bone Grafting – Sugar Land, TX
Major & Minor Bone Grafting
Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants. In these situations, most patients are not candidates for placement of dental implants.
Today, we have the ability to grow bone where needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetic appearance.
Major Bone Grafting
Bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease or injuries. The bone is either obtained from a tissue bank or your own bone is taken from the jaw, hip or tibia (below the knee). Sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw. In addition, special membranes may be utilized that dissolve under the gum and protect the bone graft and encourage bone regeneration. This is called guided bone regeneration or guided tissue regeneration.
Major bone grafts are typically performed to repair defects of the jaws. These defects may arise as a result of traumatic injuries, tumor surgery, or congenital defects. Large defects are repaired using the patient’s own bone. This bone is harvested from a number of different sites depending on the size of the defect. The skull (cranium), hip (iliac crest), and lateral knee (tibia), are common donor sites. These procedures are routinely performed in an operating room and require a hospital stay.

Patient Review
I felt that he was very competent and professional. On more than one occasion he got on the phone to personally answer my questions. This is my second gum grafting surgery and my first with Condrey. Recovery was much easier this time. He escorted me out to my car after the procedure which is something a doctor doesn’t normally do. The staff is very helpful and kind and even rescheduled my appointment promptly when I got lost finding their office.

Dr Condrey personally called to check on me the day after my tooth extraction. I told him it was a “non event” meaning no pain and no problems. I highly recommend Dr Greg Condrey and his very professional and friendly staff.

I was recommened to Dr. Condrey by my sister who raved about how she felt no pain after her procedure with Dr. Condrey. I thought she was exagerrating until I had my own experience. Dr. Condrey performed both dental implant and connective tissue graft surgeries on my mouth, and I was extremely pleased with the results of these procedures. All details pertaining to the procedures and recovery process were thoroughly explained. The front office staff, the doctor and his assistants all made sure I was comfortable and well taken care of before, during and after my procedures. Overall, I find Dr. Condrey to be a caring physician with impeccable bedside manners, and I definitely recommend his services.

Although I was hoping for a simpler solution to my problem, all went well at this office. Dr. Condrey was very good at explaining the options and the pros and cons. He extracted and prepared for an implant. I don't think this could have been easy but Dr. Condrey and the staff were very attentive to my needs.Pain was minimalized. The entire staff has some degree of medical training. This came in handy when I called with a question. I was able to get an answer and relax..

I’ve been to several Periodontists in the past and Dr Condrey is hands down the best. He is caring, works very hard to save your teeth (vs some who just want to extract and do implants) and is fast and efficient. There’s no pain, he is very gentle, and no question is a stupid question. I highly recommend Dr Condrey whether you need an implant or are fighting gum disease. He’s so good, I sent my husband to him for an implant. He was also very impressed with the efficiency and the lack of pain. Dr Condrey’s staff are really wonderful too!

Patient Review
My first dental implant with Dr. Condrey was in 2006. In the pursuing 17 years, there was never any issues with this implant. Most recently, I was in need of three additional implants, and I was happy that Dr. Condrey was available to do the procedures. It was a long process, as we did extractions and bone grafts. In the several visits that I had at his office, I never experienced any problems. Dr. Condrey is caring, and both he and his staff are attentive to your needs. I also appreciate the fact that I was promptly seen at my scheduled appointment time for each and every visit. I highly recommend Dr. Condrey and his staff.

Patient Review
Dr. Condrey comes highly recommended and he did not disappoint. He is incredibly professional and very pleasant, as is his staff. He took the time to explain, in detail, my periodontal issue, what likely caused it and what would be required to correct the problem. I am usually an anxious dental patient but Dr. Condrey put my mind at ease and I felt very comfortable moving forward with the procedure. My procedure was a success, relatively pain free, and I am healing well. I will need future periodontal work and I have every intention of going back to Dr. Condrey's office.

Patient Review
I came to Dr. Condrey for a "second opinion". Dr. Condrey and his office staff were very professional and willing to help, even if I was there only for a second opinion. I liked that he was not pressuring me to give him my treatment and he gave me his honest opinion, without "strings attached". I highly recommend his services as professional, honest, and wiling to help.
