Bone Graft (Bone Augmentation) Procedures
“A Solid Foundation for Strong Implants.”
The most important requirement for successful implant treatment is having sufficient jawbone volume and density to support the implant. If bone loss has occurred due to missing teeth, Dentorjin Dental Clinic increases bone volume using advanced surgical techniques in our Istanbul and Tirana branches, creating the strongest possible foundation for your implants.
What Is Bone Graft (Bone Powder)?
Bone grafts are materials in granular (powder) or block form that stimulate the body to regenerate its own bone tissue. These materials may be natural, synthetic, or derived from the patient’s own tissue. Over time, the graft integrates with the body’s natural bone, transforming into a strong and living structure.
Why Is Bone Grafting Performed?
- Bone Loss: After tooth extraction, if the area remains empty for a long time, the jawbone begins to lose volume.
- Implant Success: For complete osseointegration, the implant requires a certain thickness of surrounding bone.
- Aesthetic Appearance: Bone loss can cause gum recession and collapse; adding bone helps create an ideal and aesthetic gum line.
- Sinus Lifting: Used to elevate sagging sinus cavities in the upper jaw to create space for implant placement.
Advanced Surgical Solutions at Dentorjin
In our clinics, insufficient bone volume is no longer an obstacle to implant treatment. Our modern techniques include:
- Sinus Lifting: When bone volume is reduced in the posterior upper jaw, the sinus cavity is surgically elevated and filled with bone graft material.
- Ridge Augmentation: Narrow jawbones are widened and reshaped to create adequate support for implants.
- 3D Planning: We digitally plan the amount of graft material and the precise angle of implant placement using CBCT tomography with millimetric accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is bone grafting painful? No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient feels no pain. The post-operative process is similar to a standard tooth extraction.
- How long does it take for the bone graft to integrate? Depending on the area and the extent of bone loss, the graft typically integrates and transforms into living bone within 3 to 6 months. In some cases, bone grafting and implant placement can be performed in the same session.
- Are the bone graft materials safe? Yes. At Dentorjin, we use only internationally certified, biocompatible, and allergy-safe graft materials of the highest quality (Swiss or German origin).
