Bone Grafting

Bone structure in dental implants

In order for our teeth to have a good grip in the jaw, there is a certain strength and posture. In particular, the volume (height and width) and the quality of the jawbone are very important for this. In addition, these features are important factors for the implantation of dental implants. The implant you have made with our dentistry team in Turkey is only applied if there is enough material in your bone.

What factors can increase your risk for bone loss?

Bone degeneration (atrophy) is a factor that causes tooth loss. In addition to genetics or various diseases, accidents (such as sports accidents) can also cause dental problems. Since our body is always compact as a biological system, the shape of the bone changes and deteriorates over time. In order to prevent both balance and deterioration, we offer the option of professional bone grafting in Turkey.

Which bone surgery methods are there?

After thorough examination, diagnosis, and planning, our dental team will build your bone so that your teeth will fit back into the jaw optimally. The use of bone surgery, known as sinus lift, is very common in Turkey, and internal and external sinus lifts are different from each other. The purpose of a sinus lift is to fill a small area of ​​the paranasal sinuses (maxillary sinus) with bone augmentation. In external sinus lift, the bone replacement to be transplanted is placed in the jaw through the drill hole of the dental implant. In the case of external sinus removal, a small “side window” is attached to the paranasal sinus bone so that the bone augmentation material is then placed.

This method, known as Bone Splitting / Spreading, is used as another bone grafting method. Here, the patient’s residual bone is split, or split, for the body to be triggered by the resulting cavity to form its own new bone cells.

Also, the so-called socket protection method is used. This is applied in direct conjunction with a tooth extraction. In this process, the loss of bone substance is prevented by filling the bone alveoli and covering the tissue in parallel.

Are you in pain when one of the jawbones is being made?

Antibiotics and analgesics are used to prevent infection and accelerate wound healing during the treatment process. In general, very low pains can be experienced.

What problems may arise in the bone grafting process for dental implants?

Persistent inflammation, mild pain, or extreme irritation may occur, but these are not outcomes that affect treatment.

What is the price of bone augmentation in Turkey?

As in most medical applications, bone augmentation fees can vary depending on the material used, the length of stay in the hospital, the quality of the jawbone and the method used.
