Bone Augmentation

Bone Augmentation

What to expect

Bone augmentation is a procedure intended to add bone in an area where there's a deficiency, usually as preparation for dental implants or oral rehabilitation. When the amount of bone isn't sufficient, implants can't be anchored stably, and bone augmentation makes it possible to create suitable conditions for further treatment. The procedure is carried out in a controlled way, tailored to the structure of the jaw and the patient's individual needs.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

The treatment suits patients with bone deficiency in the jaw, following tooth loss, infections, wear, or natural changes over time. It's sometimes required as part of a dental implant process or extensive restoration. Suitability is determined after professional diagnosis including a clinical exam and imaging, usually using 3D imaging.

What the treatment process looks like

Treatment begins with diagnosis and precise planning of the bone structure and the area intended for treatment. Based on the findings, the augmentation method and the extent of addition required are determined. During the procedure, bone is added to the deficient area, using dedicated materials and advanced methods. A healing period is then required, during which the new bone integrates with the existing tissue. At a later stage, dental implants or further restoration can be carried out, according to the treatment plan.
