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).

Bone augmentation using a substitute

However, without augmentation, the risk of complications increases: removal of the implant, its loosening or even loss.

Frequently asked questions

Before bone augmentation, patients often ask questions related to the procedure, recovery and possible risks.

2.How long does the surgery take?

✓ The surgery takes 30-60 minutes.

3.How much does it hurt?

✓ Anesthesia is used during the surgery, so there is no pain. After the intervention, discomfort, swelling and mild pain are possible, but they are eliminated with painkillers.

4.How long does the bone heal after augmentation?

✓ Complete bone healing takes an average of 3 to 9 months. The time depends on the augmentation method, the material used and the individual characteristics of the body.

5.How to care for the oral cavity after bone augmentation?

✓ Depending on the method, the doctor will provide all the necessary recommendations.

6.What materials are used for bone augmentation?

✓ Depending on the situation, different materials are used.

Patient’s own bone (autograft)
Artificial bone (synthetic materials)
Donor or animal bone (e.g., bovine bone)

7.Can an implant be placed immediately?

✓ Sometimes bone augmentation and implant placement are possible at the same time, but most often implantation is performed after bone material has taken root.

8.Will there be swelling and, if so, how long will it last?

✓ Swelling is a normal reaction that usually resolves in 5-7 days.

9.Complications after bone augmentation – what to do?

✓ Some complications can be predicted based on the patient’s condition, the presence of certain chronic diseases. It is important to inform the doctor of the diagnosis and what medications are being taken to avoid unnecessary complications.

✓ Minimal if all recommendations are followed. The main risk factors are smoking, diabetes, poor hygiene.
