Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I don’t have enough bone for a dental implant?

Lack of bone does not mean you cannot have dental implants. There are advanced procedures, such as guided bone regeneration and bone grafting, that can increase the amount of bone available and allow for the successful placement of dental implants.

What is guided bone regeneration (GBR)?

Guided bone regeneration is a procedure that uses biocompatible membranes and bone biomaterial to promote new bone growth in areas where it is lacking. This provides a solid foundation for the placement of dental implants, allowing for better implant integration and stability.

What are bone grafts and how do they work?

Bone grafting involves the transfer of bone from a part of the patient’s body (autologous graft) or the use of donated (allogenic graft), animal (xenograft) or synthetic bone materials. These grafts help regenerate lost bone, providing the necessary support for dental implants and ensuring their long-term stability.

How do I know if I need a bone graft?

The need for a bone graft is determined by a comprehensive evaluation that includes X-rays and computed tomography (CBCT) scans to analyze the quantity and quality of bone available. Our specialists will evaluate your case and recommend the best treatment for your specific needs.

How long does it take for a bone graft to heal?

Healing time can vary depending on the type of graft and the amount of regenerated bone. Generally, it can take 3 to 9 months for the bone to fully integrate and be ready for dental implant placement.

What are the benefits of bone regeneration and bone grafting?

• Restoration of the bone structure: They allow the reconstruction of the lost bone, providing a solid and stable base for the implants.
• Improved implant stability: Improve implant stability and integration, increasing durability and treatment success.
• Aesthetic and functional improvement: Improve facial appearance and jaw functionality.
• Prevention of bone resorption: They help to maintain the integrity of the maxillary or mandibular structure.

Are there any risks or complications associated with bone grafting?

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, although they are rare. These may include infection, graft rejection, or complications during healing. Our specialists are highly trained to minimize these risks and ensure a safe and effective recovery.

Why is it important to put yourself in the hands of experienced professionals?
