Consultation
The first step is to meet with your dentist to discuss your complaints, medical history and desired results. This is an important stage for establishing trust and planning the next steps.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting or sinus lifting allows restoring the original volume of the bone at the place of the lost tooth in the maxillary sinus area. It is possible even with a small amount of bone tissue, or in cases where the teeth have been lost for a long time.
The procedure is performed in the lateral sections where the teeth carry the highest chewing load.
You will be able to chew food and enjoy its taste, and also help your digestive system to process food more effectively.
What is bone grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure designed to restore or increase bone volume in the jaw. It is often used in dentistry to prepare the jaw for dental implants or to correct bone defects caused by disease or injury.
The procedure involves the use of special bone substitutes that promote the growth of new bone tissue and help restore the functionality and structure of the jaw.
The procedure aims to fill in areas where bone has lost volume or structure, which is necessary to maintain a healthy mouth and set. Bone grafting creates sufficient bone volume that is required for successful placement and stabilization of dental implants. Bone augmentation can also help improve facial appearance, especially after tooth loss, which affects facial contours.
Indications and contraindications
Understanding the indications and contraindications for this procedure will help determine if it is appropriate for a particular patient.
Indications for bone grafting
Bone atrophy. Loss of bone mass after tooth extraction or due to gum disease.
Preparation for implant placement. The need for increased bone volume for successful placement of dental implants.
Bone defects after trauma. Bone regeneration after physical injury or surgery.
Gum disease resulting in bone loss. Advanced periodontitis can cause significant bone loss.
Congenital defects. Congenital anomalies affecting the volume and shape of the jaw bones.
Contraindications to bone grafting
Active infections. Any untreated oral or systemic infections may make the procedure risky.
Severe systemic diseases. Conditions such as unstable diabetes, serious heart disease, or a weakened immune system can increase the risk of complications and interfere with healing.
Treatment with bisphosphonates. The use of bisphosphonates, especially intravenously, can increase the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw after the procedure.
Poor oral hygiene. Poor hygiene can increase the risk of infections after surgery and decrease the chances of successful healing.
Smoking. Smoking significantly slows the healing process and increases the risk of implant failure.
How does it work?
The bone grafting process begins with careful diagnosis and planning. A dentist or oral surgeon evaluates the condition of the bone tissue using x-rays or CT scans to pinpoint the exact area in need of restoration.
During the procedure, bone material from a selected source is placed in the area where there is a lack of bone tissue. This material can be anchored with special membranes that promote the growth of new bone tissue and prevent soft tissue cells from invading the graft area.
After the surgery, the osseointegration process begins, during which the new bone material is integrated with the existing bone. This is an important stage during which the bone regenerates and becomes strong enough to support implants or perform other functions. The entire process can take several months, during which time patients may be advised to follow certain dietary and physical activity restrictions.
Bone grafting significantly improves patients’ quality of life by restoring function and aesthetics to the jaw, and provides long-term stability for dentures and implants.
Stages of work
01
02
Diagnostic examination
In order to accurately assess the condition of the bone tissue, a CT scan is used to obtain three-dimensional images of the jaw. This is necessary for creating a detailed computer model and planning the surgery.
03
Preparing for surgery
Before undergoing bone grafting, it is important to address any existing problems in the mouth, such as inflammation or infection, to minimize risks and create optimal conditions for healing.
04
Anesthesia
Depending on the extent of surgery and individual patient preference, local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or sedation may be used.
05
Bone access
The surgeon makes a neat incision in the gum to access the area where the plastic surgery will be performed.
06
Bone grafting
Bone grafting is performed using a pre-selected method. This step may include the placement of a bone substitute to restore bone volume.
07
Installing the diaphragm
If necessary, a special membrane is placed on the site of plasty to promote proper healing and regeneration of bone tissue.
08
Suturing
Once the manipulation is complete, the surgeon will gently suture the gum to ensure optimal healing.
Advantages
Possibility of implants
Allows to restore the necessary volume and quality of bone tissue in cases where it is insufficient for dental implants. This increases the possibilities for implantation in patients who would otherwise not be able to use this method due to bone atrophy.
Improved functionality and appearance
Not only helps restore chewing function, but also significantly improves the aesthetics of the smile. Restoring bone structure helps to maintain the shape of the face, preventing the “eating” of the face that often occurs with tooth loss.
Prevention of further bone loss
After tooth loss, bone tissue begins to gradually shrink due to lack of stress. Bone grafting stimulates the bone tissue to regenerate, which helps prevent further atrophy and maintain the health of the entire jaw.
Minimal risk of complications
Modern bone grafting techniques, especially using allogeneic or synthetic material, reduce the risk of rejection and infection, providing a high level of safety for the procedure.
Comfortably and painlessly
Minimal invasive approach through the minimum allowed formed hole
When is bone grafting necessary?
Bone grafting may be recommended in several cases:
After tooth loss
Prolonged absence of teeth often results in bone atrophy due to the lack of stress on the bone provided by the roots of the teeth.
Before implant placement
Successful implantation requires sufficient bone volume and density to provide support and stability for the implant.
For periodontitis
Advanced stages of gum disease can lead to bone destruction, making bone grafting necessary to restore the structure of the jaw.
After trauma or surgery
Bone repair may be required after injuries or surgery to the jaw.

NATALIA ILINA
"I am afraid of dentists and everything related to dental treatment. But I can confidently say that after 10 years of living in the UAE, I have finally found my dentist. I've had dental hygiene done, and am currently treating my teeth, having visited twice already. Among the perks is a large TV on the ceiling; you can get absorbed in YouTube or even watch a movie, which is cool as it distracts me and eases my anxiety. Once I'm done with my dental treatment, I'll also work with an orthodontist."

"I’ve done braces, 4 implants and 28 porcelain veneers and crowns with the 1M1 colour. So I trusted my full mouth to this dentist clinic and haven’t regretted at all!
The owner Lilia is just adorable. She is very patient, attentive and friendly. All people that work at clinic are also very nice and patient even with this kind of person as me, who always asks so many questions about everything.

Always happy to recommend DentalDate!"
