What is a bone graft?

A dental bone graft is a surgical procedure aimed at increasing the quantity or quality of jawbone to support a dental implant. It is often necessary when the bone is insufficient due to bone loss caused by periodontal disease or tooth extraction. During the graft, the surgeon may harvest bone from the patient (autograft) or use synthetic materials.

Do you need a bone graft to get dental work done abroad?

A dental bone graft is often necessary for getting dental work done abroad when the jawbone is insufficient to support a dental implant. This can be due to bone loss caused by periodontal disease, tooth extraction, or bone atrophy. The bone graft is recommended to create a solid foundation for the placement of a cost-effective dental implant in Portugal. This procedure is also used to correct bone defects that compromise oral health. In short, a dental bone graft is considered when the available bone is insufficient to ensure the success of an implant treatment.

The different types of bone grafts for getting dental implants abroad.

In dental implantology, there are 4 main types of bone grafts to restore the bone volume necessary for implant placement:

1️⃣Autogenous graft (autograft): The bone comes from the patient themselves (chin, jaw, hip). It is the most reliable solution as it ensures excellent compatibility.

2️⃣Allogeneic graft (allograft): The bone is harvested from a human donor (bone bank). It is treated to eliminate any risk of rejection.

3️⃣Xenograft: The bone comes from an animal source, often bovine, and undergoes special treatment to promote integration.

4️⃣Alloplastic graft: The bone is replaced by a biocompatible synthetic material (hydroxyapatite, calcium phosphate), stimulating bone regeneration.

These techniques help strengthen the bone to ensure the stability of dental implant.

Why does our dental clinic in Portugal favor alloplastic bone grafting?

At our clinic, we choose alloplastic bone grafting because it offers numerous advantages for our patients. This type of graft uses biocompatible and synthetic materials (such as hydroxyapatite or calcium phosphate), ensuring excellent tolerance and reducing the risks of rejection or disease transmission. Unlike autogenous grafts, it avoids the need for an additional procedure to harvest bone, thus reducing pain and recovery time. Additionally, it promotes effective and lasting bone regeneration, ensuring the optimal stability of dental implants. A safe, modern, and comfortable solution for our patients.

Bone grafting is not always necessary before placing dental implants. It depends on the amount and density of the available bone. Thanks to modern techniques like All-on-4, it is possible to avoid grafting by optimizing the anchorage of the implants. A personalized evaluation is essential.

Why perform a bone graft during dental implant placement?

Bone grafting in dentistry is crucial when the jaw lacks sufficient bone density to support dental implants. Reasons for this include bone loss due to periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth extractions. Without enough bone, dental implants cannot be securely anchored. Bone grafting restores both the quantity and quality of bone, promoting implant integration. It is a vital step to ensure the success of dental treatments and maintain the function and appearance of the teeth.

Mrs Alice Frederic FERREIRA

Painless care. I took my first trip last February. I want to thank the medical team, especially my implantologist. Although I was very stressed before the surgery, he was extremely patient. I would like to thank the entire medical team, and I look forward to November to complete my treatment. P.S.: If my permanent prosthesis is as beautiful as my temporary fixed prosthesis, I will be very happy!
