Bone Grafting

Bone Grafting for Dental Implants

If scans show enough healthy bone, we avoid grafts. When bone has thinned or a defect exists, grafting rebuilds support so your implant can last. We primarily use xenografts (Bio-Oss®, Creos™) and synthetics (EthOss®), and occasionally autografts if needed—always evidence-based and explained in plain English.

Understanding the Causes of Bone Loss and Its Impact on Dental Health

Bone loss can occur for various reasons, including delayed extraction, gum disease, trauma, and infections. Understanding these factors is crucial for effective treatment and prevention.

Causes of Loss

Delayed tooth extraction can lead to significant bone deterioration over time.

Preventive Measures

Addressing gum disease promptly can help maintain bone density and oral health.

The bone grafting procedure typically takes 30-90 minutes, depending on the complexity. Full healing can take 3-6 months before implant placement.

We use local anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.

Risks are minimal but can include infection, bleeding, or graft rejection. Our advanced techniques significantly reduce these possibilities.

Costs vary based on grafting type and complexity. We offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options.
