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.

Dr. Condrey and his staff are caring, pleasant and professional. I had a molar extracted in preparation for implant. I was informed by Dr. Condrey throughout the procedure and both he and his associate were concerned that my comfort was foremost. Best of all, no swelling and only two ibuprofen for very minimal discomfort!

Dr. Condrey is as professional as he is personable. He quickly resolved a chronic abscess problem that had baffled several other practitioners. Believe me that absence of abscess makes my heart grow fonder (and healthier). He also has impeccable taste in his office and staff selections. The facility is open and airy, plus it is filled with such beautiful furnishings and artwork that it resembles a mini-museum. His staff is as attentive as they are attractive. These combined elements provide a relaxing and pleasurable experience for patients receiving competent care for complex problems provided in a truly wonderfully soothing environment.

Patient Review
I have been a patient for over 10 years with Dr Condrey. Not my first periodontist, but definitely the best one. Staff is friendly and most capable at the jobs they do. Used to always request nitrous for routine cleanings, but Andrea has such a good touch and technique that nitrous is not needed for the sensitive gums.

First of all I'm infamous for my dental phobias so let that be the base. Dr. Condrey and his staff were totally professional, personable, and accommodating for my entire office experience. My service/ insurance procedure was seamless and most importantly I had full access to Dr. Condrey during and after business hours. You can't take that for granted. I would recommend him and his staff to all my friends and family and coming from someone who's a stickler for customer service and loyalty I wouldn't just say it if it wasn't so.

Dr. Condrey and all the staff were very personable, informative, kind and considerate. The office atmosphere is very welcoming as is Dr. Condrey and each one of his assistants at the front desk and in the procedure rooms. They were great at explaining the procedures as well as thoroughly answering any questions I had. Going to the dentist really isn't what I'd call a fun day, but Dr. Condrey and his staff made the experience easy and painless. They were all a pleasure to work with and I would certainly give the highest recommendations for anyone needing to see a periodontist. Whether you live in Sugar Land or anywhere in the surrounding areas, Dr. Condrey is the doctor to see.

I definitely recommend Dr. Condrey for dental implants. My wife was impressed too and if she’s in the market for an implant, she won’t go anywhere but to Dr. Condrey.

Patient Review
I'm beginning the process for my first dental implant. You can therefore understand how apprehensive I was initially. I feel extremely comfortable and at ease with Dr. Condrey and his team since they have taken the time to explain the implant procedure to me. Importantly, in the interim, they have been very responsive to questions related to my care. My spouse first received dental care from Dr. Condrey and his staff. They are well regarded, and I concur.

Patient Review
Dr. Condrey and his staff are most competent professionals I have come across. I have been seeing this doctor now for about a year . I have my regular cleanings every three month, and a one time "deep cleaning". His dental hygienist is really meticulous about her work and does an excellent work. I see Dr. Condrey at least every other time I go to have my quarterly cleaning, to check on the progress of my gums that so far are improving a lot. He is very thorough in his check ups and always give me an explanation of the condition of my gums and what I should do to take care of them and my teeth. Very satisfied to be his patient! I give this office a rating of 5 Stars!

Dr. Condrey is very sincere in doing the very best for his patients. He is gentle in his procedures and sensitive to his patient's requirements and requests. Andrea is fantastic, and also gentle but very detailed in her work. Wonderful experiences from the first periodontal process and every visit for cleaning since then. I highly recommend Dr. Condrey and his team!
