Bone Grafting: Strengthen Your Foundation for Implants

When teeth are lost, bone can shrink over time. Bone grafting rebuilds volume and strength so implants can be placed securely and your facial contours remain supported.

When grafting is recommended

  • Insufficient bone for implant placement
  • Ridge preservation immediately after extraction
  • Localized defects from infection or trauma

Grafting options

  • Particulate grafts or blocks (depending on defect)
  • Membrane-guided bone regeneration for controlled healing
  • Combined approaches when needed for stability

What to expect

  • 3D imaging to measure bone accurately
  • Gentle placement of graft material and membrane
  • Healing phase before implant placement
  • Follow-up to confirm volume and density

Benefits

  • Improves implant success and longevity
  • Restores facial support and symmetry
  • Enables modern fixed solutions (including full-arch)

Next step

Schedule a 3D assessment in Poreč to see whether bone grafting will optimize your implant plan.
