Bone augmentation is a procedure performed to increase the volume and quality of the jawbone necessary for stable dental implant placement. This procedure is especially important for patients whose jawbone volume has decreased or whose bone is not strong enough to support dental implants successfully. Bone augmentation may be required if significant time has passed since tooth loss, leading to bone resorption.
Dental Art employs implantologists with extensive experience in implant placement and bone augmentation. Hypoallergenic and biocompatible materials are used, ensuring high-quality treatment outcomes while minimizing risk factors. The clinic utilizes the latest technologies, providing not only superior treatment quality but also maximum patient comfort. If necessary, the bone augmentation procedure can also be performed under sedation, overseen by an anesthesiologist, to reduce patient anxiety and ensure the procedure is carried out in the most comfortable conditions.
This procedure creates the necessary foundation for dental implantation. Before bone augmentation, thorough diagnostics, including X-rays and other tests, are essential to assess the condition of the bone and the patient’s overall health. Maintaining meticulous oral hygiene before the procedure is equally important to prevent infections or other complications post-procedure.
The bone augmentation procedure is performed under local anesthesia; however, patients can opt for sedation under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. The surgeon makes a small incision in the oral cavity to access the bone. Bone augmentation may involve various techniques, such as replacing the bone with synthetic material, human bone, or animal bone. After the augmentation, the surgeon closes the incision and ensures the bone heals correctly. This procedure can take from one to several hours, depending on the amount of bone augmentation required.
Bone augmentation is a surgical procedure performed to increase the volume of the jawbone when it is insufficient to ensure stable and secure placement of dental implants. This procedure may be necessary for individuals who have lost multiple teeth or have a weakened jawbone. Typically, this procedure involves adding bone material, such as synthetic bone or human/animal bone.
Bone augmentation is necessary when the patient’s jawbone has lost volume or quality, which can occur after tooth loss or prolonged absence of teeth. Patients with jaw injuries or those who have suffered from dental diseases leading to bone loss may also require bone augmentation. This procedure is carried out to provide the necessary foundation for dental implant placement when the bone volume is insufficient or its quality is inadequate for the implantation procedure.
Bone augmentation begins with a surgical intervention during which bone substitute material, which can be synthetic, animal-derived, or human bone, is introduced into the jaw. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, though in some cases general anesthesia may be required, such as for more complex bone augmentation or when the patient feels significant anxiety and opts for sedation.
Once the bone material is placed, it is covered with the patient’s soft tissue to promote the healing process and bone integration. After the procedure, patients must follow post-care instructions provided by the doctor to minimize the risk of complications and ensure a successful healing process.
While bone augmentation is a safe procedure, there are some risks and complications, such as infections, bleeding, or rejection of the bone material. In very rare cases, the bone augmentation process may not be successful, or the healing process may be complicated. To minimize the risk of complications, it is essential to follow all post-care instructions, including maintaining excellent oral hygiene, leading a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption, and adhering to other specific recommendations from the doctor.
Following bone augmentation, time is needed for the bone to fully integrate and heal. Typically, the healing process takes 3 to 9 months, depending on the patient’s health condition and the material used. Complete bone healing is crucial to provide a stable foundation for dental implants. Once the bone is sufficiently stabilized, the implant placement procedure can begin. It is important to follow the dentist’s instructions to ensure a successful recovery process and achieve the best possible results.
