Bone augmentation for dental implants
Increasing bone volume when it is insufficient for the chosen implant treatment. Assessment determines whether augmentation is needed, its extent and the order of treatment stages.
About Service
Implant placement requires a suitable amount of supporting bone. When bone volume is insufficient, increasing its width or height may be considered. Not every patient needs this preparation.
Bone augmentation may be a separate stage or combined with implant placement where conditions permit. Materials, technique and timing depend on the defect.
What the treatment or procedure involves
- Assessment of bone volume and shape.
- Selection of the procedure and materials.
- Surgery and healing.
- Review before the next treatment stage.
Important considerations
- Pain, swelling, infection and insufficient bone gain are possible.
- Further surgery may be needed, and the overall replacement timeline may be longer.
Additional stages and components
- Bio-Oss bone graft material, 1 g
- Evolution membrane
- Bio-Oss bone graft material, 0.5 g
Information helps prepare for a consultation and does not replace an individual diagnosis. The dentist determines the procedure, materials and timing after assessment.
