Bone graft for implant

After a tooth is lost, the bone gradually wastes away, which sometimes makes implant placement impossible without prior reconstruction. A bone graft restores the missing foundation and allows for the safe planning of permanent implant treatment.

Bone grafts at Mabel Clinic

When a bone graft is needed before implantation

We recommend bone augmentation when its height or width is too small for the implant to achieve full stability and a permanent bone surrounding. Bone loss occurs fastest in the first months after tooth extraction, and is worsened by long-term missing teeth, periodontal diseases, and the use of dentures. We precisely assess the scope of the reconstruction using a CT scan.

How bone reconstruction is performed at Mabel Clinic

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, based on a digital treatment plan. The defect is filled with a certified bone substitute material or the patient's own bone, securing the entire area with a membrane that stabilises the reconstruction. In many cases, augmentation is combined with simultaneous implant placement, which shortens the overall treatment time. Healing is monitored during regular follow-up visits.

Healing and further stages of implant treatment

The rebuilt bone typically matures over a period of four to nine months, depending on the extent of the procedure. During this time, we recommend meticulous hygiene, avoiding smoking, and protecting the operated area. Once regeneration is confirmed on an X-ray, we proceed with the implantation as planned. Thanks to the augmentation, the implants gain a stable, healthy foundation for many years to come.
