BONE AUGMENTATION

Bone augmentation is a surgical procedure used to restore or increase bone volume in areas where bone loss has occurred. It’s a critical step for patients who want a dental implant but lack sufficient jawbone to safely support it.

Bone loss can occur due to tooth extractions, trauma, gum disease, or wearing dentures for extended periods. Bone grafting rebuilds the lost structure and provides the necessary support for a successful dental implant, helping restore your smile both functionally and aesthetically.

When Is Bone augmentation Needed and What Does It Involve?

This procedure is recommended in cases such as:

  • Insufficient bone for implant placement
  • Bone retraction after old extractions
  • Bone loss due to periodontal disease
  • Preparing the site for prosthetic restoration

Types of graft material used:

  • Autologous bone (from the patient)
  • Bovine-derived graft material
  • Synthetic biocompatible materials

Treatment steps include:

  • CT scan for detailed evaluation
  • Personalized treatment planning
  • Grafting and membrane protection
  • Healing period (4–6 months) for integration

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is safe and well tolerated. The long-term success of a dental implant greatly depends on bone quality and volume, and bone grafting creates the optimal conditions for treatment success.
