Bone grafting in Kyiv

With complex implantation, dentists perform multi-stage preparation of bone and soft tissues to achieve a good anatomical and functional result of dental reconstruction. Bone grafting in Kyiv is one of the stages of prosthetics, which is performed with the thinning of the bone’s tissue.

Experienced dental surgeons who are proficient in modern bone grafting techniques and can guarantee a successful outcome of the procedure should perform the operation. These are the specialists who work in the MC Dobrobut dental clinic in Kyiv. We carry out all types of jaw bone reconstruction and perform high-quality dental implantation.

Types of bone grafting in dentistry

The procedure is aimed at restoring the normal thickness of the alveolar processes of the jaw - the areas of the bone to which the implant will be attached in the future. There are four main methods of surgery:

Autotransplantation. Transplantation of the patient’s bone tissue from the corner of the lower jaw into the area of the tooth socket. The method has wide indications for use and provides a 100% survival rate.

Splitting of the alveolar bone. Simultaneous placement of a bone implant and introducing osteoplastic material into the remaining voids. In case of horizontal damage to the jaw, only such bone grafting is used; the cost of the procedure increases because of the large amount of work.

Guided bone regeneration. Installation of an artificial or natural bone substitute in the defect area and securing with a special membrane. Ideal for correcting minor bone injuries.

Sinus lifting. Restoration of the thickness of the bone of the upper jaw in the area of the maxillary sinus. It involves raising the lower wall of the sinus and filling the resulting space with bone material.

The price and duration of the procedure depend on the chosen method of jaw bone augmentation. The dentist individually selects the method of bone grafting after examining the patient’s oral cavity and evaluating X-ray images.

Jaw bone grafting is necessary for such situations:

thinning of your bone tissue with the prolonged absence of a tooth;

bone destruction with advanced periodontal disease;
jaw injuries with displacement, fragmentation of bone tissue;
birth defects (cleft lip).

It should be borne in mind that the price of jaw bone grafting in Kyiv cannot be too low. The operation requires great skill, jewelry precision of work, and the use of high-quality materials for bone augmentation.

How is bone grafting in Kyiv

The operation takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Small-scale interventions are performed under local anesthesia; extensive bone grafting requires general anesthesia. During the operation, the doctor dissects the mucous membrane of the problem area, gains access to the bone, and carries out its reconstruction in the chosen way. Then the implants are fixed with collagen membranes and surgical sutures.

Sometimes, it is possible to combine bone augmentation and dental implant placement. The combined operation allows reducing tissue trauma and the number of visits to the dentist, to restore the dentition as quickly as possible. The cost of bone grafting with one-stage prosthetics is calculated after a full examination, joint consultation with a dentist-surgeon, and a prosthetist.

Rehabilitation period

Recovery takes 10-14 days. During this period, the patient needs to follow medical recommendations:

take soft warm food, limit chewing movements as much as possible;
clean the mouth after each meal with cotton swabs and an antiseptic solution;
