Bone Grafting for Implants

There Is Hope — Even with Bone Loss

Successful dental implant placement requires sufficient bone volume. However, in some cases, bone loss occurs over time due to tooth extraction, trauma, or aging.
Bone grafting (bone powder treatment) helps regenerate the jawbone and creates a strong foundation for future implants.

🧱 What Is Bone Graft Material?

• Biocompatible natural or synthetic materials

• Gradually integrate with your own bone

• Used in areas where bone is insufficient

✅ When Is Bone Grafting Needed?

• If a long time has passed after tooth extraction

• In cases of jawbone resorption

• When sinus cavities have expanded (especially upper jaw)

• After trauma or cyst removal that resulted in bone loss

🛠️ How Is the Procedure Performed?

1. Gum tissue is gently lifted to expose the bone

2. Graft material is placed into the deficient area

3. The site is covered with a membrane and sutured

4. Healing time is typically 3 to 6 months

5. After healing, implants can be placed successfully

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is bone grafting safe?
   Yes. The materials are sterile and biologically compatible with the human body.

2. Will it be painful?
   No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and only mild sensitivity may occur afterward.

3. Can bone grafting and implant be done in the same session?
   In some cases, yes — if the existing bone allows for stable implant placement.

4. How long do I need to wait before the implant?
   On average, 3 to 6 months are needed for proper bone integration.
