Bone augmentation price in Dental Clinic DentalKnysh, Lviv, Stusa, 24
Ihor Igorovich Knysh, an implantologist with over 10 years of experience in dental implantation, answers questions about bone augmentation and the price.

Bone augmentation (bone augmentation) is a procedure to restore or increase the volume of bone tissue in the jaw, necessary for the installation of a dental implant.
Why is bone augmentation performed?
After tooth extraction, the bone gradually atrophies if the tooth has been missing for a long time. If the bone tissue is not dense enough or has a small height and width, the implant will not be able to be securely fixed.
Bone augmentation helps to:
- Create a strong foundation for the implant
- Reduce the risk of implant rejection
- Restore aesthetics and the correct contour of the gums
How complex is the operation?
The complexity of the operation depends on the method:
- Bone plastic. The patient’s bone material, artificial bone or donor bone is used.
- Sinus lift (on the upper jaw) – the maxillary sinus is raised and the space is filled with bone material. It can be open (more complex) or closed (less traumatic).
- Alveolar ridge splitting – if the bone is too narrow, it is split and filled with material.
Is it possible to do without augmentation?
In some cases, you can do without surgery
- If there is enough bone tissue for reliable implant placement;
- If short or narrow implants are used (but they are always suitable);
- If special techniques are used (for example, inclined implant placement).

However, without augmentation, the risk of complications increases: removal of the implant, its loosening or even loss.
Contraindications and possible complications
Contraindications
- Severe osteoporosis;
- Oncological diseases;
- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus;
- Inflammatory processes in the oral cavity;
- Blood diseases (coagulation disorders).
Possible complications
- Inflammation and infection;
- Rejection of bone material;
- Damage to nerves or maxillary sinuses;
- Insufficient bone preparation.
With proper planning and following the recommendations, the risk of complications is minimal.
