Bone grafting: preparation for a stable implant
With bone grafting, the jawbone is augmented or strengthened in a specific area. This is sometimes necessary when bone has been lost over the years, for example after tooth extractions or long-term tooth loss. With sufficient bone volume, an implant has better support.
Using X-rays and, if needed, 3D imaging, we assess how much bone is present and which type of augmentation fits best. We then create a personalised plan explaining the steps and the healing period in a clear way.
When is bone grafting necessary
Bone grafting is mainly considered when the jawbone is too narrow or too low to place an implant right away. This can occur after a long time without teeth, after previous infections, or when the bone is naturally thin in a particular area.
- Preparation for a stable and predictable implant
- Improving jaw shape after loss of bone tissue
- Expanding the possibilities for fixed dental solutions
- Personalised treatment plan based on modern diagnostics
The treatment is performed under local anaesthesia. The bone is augmented with carefully selected materials and the area is closed neatly. The jawbone is then given time to heal and strengthen before an implant is placed.
During aftercare, we monitor healing and provide clear advice on oral hygiene and behaviour in the initial period. When the bone has recovered sufficiently, we plan the next step of your treatment, such as placing an implant.
