When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone often is often affected over time. Patients without enough jaw bone mass are not candidates for dental implants. Bone grafting is often performed to reverse bone loss or enhance existing bone, allowing for the placement of dental implants after the bone graft has healed and created the necessary foundation for the implants.
Bone grafting for the purpose of rebuilding jaw bone to support dental implants can usually be done in our office. The surgeon may recommend that the grafting material be taken from the patients own bone or from another source. Synthetic material can also be used to generate bone growth. Bone grafting allows for proper support of dental implants or prostheses. Healing time prior to the placement of the implants is generally between 4 6 months, though it can sometimes take longer.

Went to see Dr. Costello today. He added a post for an implant in tooth 8. He gave me the novacaine for it and did a nice job. The staff is nice too so that helped. You'll be happy with him as many of the other reviews are just as positive.

Over the years I have visited the office for consultations, extractions and implants and have been very happy with the care and treatment. His calm and friendly manner is very reassuring.

Went for a 4 wisdom tooth extraction. Both the doctor and assistant were very friendly and pleasant. Procedure was painless and took less than I was expecting. Was giving all the instructions needed and the doctor was very upfront and honest with all questions and concerns. Very good experience overall

I needed a tooth extracted and for as unpleasant as an experience as that can be, thanks to everyone from the front desk staff, the assistants and of course Dr. Costello himself it was almost a pleasure! I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Costello to everyone!

I was referred to Dr. Costello by my dentist because I needed 2 dental implants. I waited a few years because of fear and finally went to see him. I'm sorry I waited so long because I had a great experience. I was scared because I needed a sinus lift and bone graft. The procedures went well and I had zero pain afterwards. The same for the implants. Dr. Costello and his staff are very professional, friendly and really put you at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Costello!

You diagnosed our son Chris last year with a rare condition that his general dentist never noticed. You knew right away what was wrong. Chris's surgery was a success thanks to your unprecedented skill. Over a year later, his recent scan in your office confirms he is well. Thank you for being a leader in your field.
