Bone Grafting Antalya, Turkey: Building the Foundation for Dental Implants
A successful dental implant needs a strong, solid foundation. If you've been told you are not a candidate for dental implants due to bone loss, our specialist Bone Grafting procedure in Antalya can be the solution that changes everything.
What is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a safe and common surgical procedure performed to rebuild, or \"augment,\" bone in your jaw where it has been lost. When a tooth is missing, the jawbone in that area naturally begins to shrink (a process called \"atrophy\"). A bone graft adds volume and density back to the jawbone, creating a stable platform that is strong enough to support a dental implant.
Why is a Bone Graft Necessary?
A bone graft is often a critical preliminary step for implant surgery. You will likely need one if:
- You have had a missing tooth for a long time.
- You lost a tooth due to severe gum disease (periodontitis), which destroys bone.
- You have experienced trauma or injury to the jaw.
- You naturally have a thin jawbone or are preparing for a sinus lift in the upper jaw.
The Bone Grafting Procedure in Antalya
This procedure is performed by our specialist oral surgeons with precision and care.
- 3D CBCT Scan: The first step is always a 3D scan. This allows our surgeon to see the exact height, width, and density of your existing bone and plan the graft.
- The Procedure: The area is numbed with local anaesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision to access the bone and places the sterile, biocompatible bone graft material (often a safe, processed mineral composite like Bio-Oss).
- Membrane Placement: The graft is often covered with a special \"collagen membrane,\" which acts as a protective barrier to help guide the regeneration of your own new bone tissue.
- Healing: The site is sutured. Over the next 4-6 months, your body will naturally replace the graft material with your own strong, new, integrated bone. Once healed, you are ready for your implant placement.
