About the Treatment
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure performed to rebuild bone volume in areas where, due to bone resorption following tooth loss, there is insufficient bone for an implant.
Features
- Prepares the bone foundation before implant placement
- Helps preserve facial contours
- Can be combined with a sinus lift in suitable cases
Treatment Process
1. Bone Analysis
Bone density and volume are assessed with tomography.
2. Choice of Graft Material
The patient’s own bone, an allograft or a synthetic graft material is planned.
3. Surgical Procedure
The bone graft is placed under local anaesthesia.
4. Healing and Implant
Implant placement usually follows a 3-6 month healing period.
What Is a Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift is a procedure in which bone volume in the posterior upper jaw is increased by placing a bone graft at the floor of the sinus.
Duration: The bone graft is placed under local anaesthesia.
