Procedure for bone implant when there is not enough bone for implants
During bone grafting, bone or bone-like material is transplanted into the areas where the bone density is not sufficient. This, in turn, encourages natural bone growth and allows our dentist to place dental implants successfully. Depending on your case, bone grafting can be performed either in one stage or two stages with healing periods varying according to the complexity of your condition.

Treatment
Bone grafting begins with an initial consultation with our experienced oral surgeon, who will evaluate the structure of your jawbone and recommend the type of graft most appropriate for your specific requirements. After a course of action has been decided, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure comfort.
Carefully, the graft material is placed in an area where bone has been lost, and over time, the graft integrates with the natural bone through a process called osseointegration. Depending on how serious the situation with regard to the loss of bone tissue is, it could take several months for the area to heal to the point where the next phase of treatment can be considered, for example, dental implant placement.
Our Patient Care Philosophy:
Types of Bone Grafts | Our Treatment Options
Autograft | Autologous Bone Graft
The bone for an autograft is taken from some other part of your own body, mostly from the jaw or hip. Your natural bone within your body makes the autograft the ‘gold standard’, allowing the healing to be much faster and more predictable. The bone graft material is placed at the site where bone loss has occurred, stimulating new bone growth.
Allograft | Cadaver Bone Graft
Allografts are a form of bone tissue taken from a donor, usually from a cadaver, which is sterilized and processed for safety. This graft type is ideal for patients who may not have sufficient bone that can be taken from the body. Allografts work very well, though they do require careful monitoring and a slightly longer time to heal.
Xenograft | Animal Bone Graft
Xenografts are manufactured from animal bone, typically bovine (cow) bone. These grafts are processed to eliminate any risk of disease transmission. Xenografts serve as a framework through which new bone can grow, and they are used when an autograft or allograft is not available or feasible.
Synthetic Bone Grafts
Synthetic bone grafts are composed of either a calcium phosphate or hydroxyapatite compound that replicate natural bone, and their structural framework provides an excellent scaffold for bone ingrowth. They are excellent options for these patients who do not like the idea of animal or human derived bone.
Block Bone Graft
A block bone graft is used to reconstruct portions of the jaw where major bone loss has occurred. A block of bone is removed from one area (usually the chin or back of the jaw) and inserted into the area where the bone is missing. This technique is widely used in cases where massive amounts of bone need to be restored for placing implants.
Sinus Lift Graft (Sinus Augmentation)
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure during which bone material is grafted into the sinus cavity for patients who need dental implants in the upper jaw, but lack sufficient bone volume in the sinus area. A sinus lift helps rebuild the bone structure and provides a solid foundation for the implants.

FAQs about All-On-8 Dental Implants
Healing times are different from one individual to the other, which also depends on several factors such as the kind of graft used and the extent of bone loss. The integration of the graft with the old bone usually takes anywhere between 3 and 9 months. Through osseointegration, the bone would eventually fuse with the graft material, and the implant will have a strong foundation.
Since bone grafting is performed under local anesthesia, you will not feel any pain. After the surgery, you might feel some slight discomfort, swelling, or bruising, which can easily be managed with light pain medication prescribed by our dentist.
In a few days, all these symptoms will subside. With the follow-up and post-operative care instructions provided by our dentist, you will be able to experience an easier recovery and minimize any discomfort.
Bone grafting is often needed if you have suffered bone loss due to periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth extraction. You may consider bone grafting if you have changes in facial structure, decreased ability to chew, or lack sufficient jawbone for dental implants.
If you are considering getting dental implants but are skeptical about your bone density, consult our dentists in Albania who will help determine if bone grafting is necessary for successful treatment.
Our oral surgeon makes an incision through the gums at the site where the bone graft is to be made. This graft material (taken from your own body, from another donor, or synthetic material) is then carefully positioned inside the area of the bone loss.
Afterward, the gums are stitched, and you’ll begin the healing process. Our dentist will provide post-surgical instructions to ensure proper care and optimal integration of the graft with your existing bone.
After the procedure, integration of the bone with the graft takes some time, which may be 3 to 9 months. The time depends upon the graft material used and also the place where grafting is performed in the jawbone. When our dentist feels that the bone has adequately healed, dental implants can then be safely placed.
Following the procedure, soft food is highly recommended for at least two weeks. Avoid chewing on the treated side of your mouth. You should also avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods until our dentist confirms it’s safe to resume regular eating.
Soft diet foods such as soups, yogurt, and mashed potatoes will minimize the stress to the healing site. This helps avoid complications and allows for smooth recovery.

At the healing stage, patients should avoid smoking, consumption of alcohol, or chewing hard materials. Keep in mind that smoking impairs the blood flow in the graft site and thus hinders proper healing.
