Bone augmentation

Everyone has long known the implantation procedure, which is safe and effective for restoring the dentition. One of the most important tasks is to preserve bone tissue, especially after tooth extraction. To prevent bone loss, on the day of extraction or some time after tooth extraction, it is necessary to perform certain procedures to build up bone tissue (bone grafting).

If atrophy has already occurred, a whole range of measures is required to increase the height and width of the bone. The procedure is absolutely safe and effective. Only in such cases, the implant has a chance for long-term high-quality functioning.

There are several plastic surgery techniques that can be used to restore tissue. The most common of them are directed tissue regeneration and sinus lift.

  • The technique of directed tissue regeneration is used most often because it is the least traumatic. This method of bone augmentation allows for simultaneous bone augmentation and implant placement.

  • It is mandatory to use a special membrane to cover the implanted material. It protects the bone from leaching and the soft tissues surrounding it.

  • A sinus lift is an operation to raise the maxillary sinus, which increases the volume of bone tissue. It is clear that such augmentation can be performed only on implants in the upper jaw.

Bone augmentation has a number of advantages:

  • It makes it possible to install durable and reliable implants;

  • Restores the attractive appearance of the jaw and gums;

  • All the inconveniences caused by bone atrophy disappear;

  • All jaw functions are fully restored;
