Sinus lift
A stable, safe, and long-term solution for tooth replacement, with a treatment plan tailored to your smile.
Bone augmentation
Bone tissue augmentation by which we create suitable conditions for implant placement when the existing amount of bone is not sufficient.
CANDIDATES
When is bone augmentation needed?
After tooth loss, the jawbone can gradually decrease over time. The amount of bone may also be limited due to anatomy, long-term tooth absence, previous inflammation, or other changes.
Augmentation may be recommended if:
Augmentation may be recommended if:
-
There is not enough bone width or height for the planned implant.
-
The tooth has been missing for a long time and bone loss has occurred.
-
after tooth extraction, a bone defect remains
-
Previous inflammation or trauma affected the amount of bone
-
it is not possible to place the implant in a stable and favorable position without additional augmentation
-
It is necessary to improve the conditions for future prosthetic work
What is bone augmentation?
Bone augmentation is a surgical procedure used to compensate for a lack of bone tissue in the area of the future implant.
The goal of the procedure is not only to increase the amount of bone, but to create a stable anatomical foundation that enables proper implant positioning.
The scope of the procedure depends on the size of the bone defect, the position of the tooth being replaced, and the planned prosthetic solution.

Can the implant be placed immediately?
In some cases, augmentation and implant placement can be performed during the same procedure.
If the bone deficiency is greater or it is not possible to achieve adequate initial implant stability, bone augmentation is performed first, and the implant is placed after a healing period.
We make the decision based on the bone condition and the overall implant treatment plan, rather than a predetermined protocol.

DC360 PROCESS
What does bone augmentation look like?
01
Examination and radiological diagnostics
We are evaluating the condition of the edentulous area and the amount of available bone.
02
Implant planning
We determine the desired position of the future implant and evaluate how much additional bone is needed.
03
Area preparation
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and the approach is tailored to the size and position of the bone defect.
04
Bone grafting
The defect is reconstructed according to an individually planned surgical technique.
05
Closure and healing control
The surgical site is managed and, if necessary, closed with sutures. We monitor the healing before proceeding with implant therapy.

PRICE
What affects the cost of bone augmentation?
The price depends on the size of the bone defect, the scope of the procedure, and whether the augmentation is performed independently or as part of a broader implant therapy.
Following the examination and diagnostics, you will receive a clear treatment plan and information on expected costs.

After tooth loss, the bone is no longer loaded in the same way and can diminish over time. The amount of bone can also be affected by previous inflammation, trauma, and individual jaw anatomy.
No. It is only necessary when the existing amount of bone is not sufficient for the planned implant placement.
The assessment includes a clinical examination and appropriate radiological diagnostics. For implant planning, a CBCT may be required for a three-dimensional evaluation of the area.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. After the procedure, swelling, tenderness, or discomfort may occur, depending on its extent.
Initial soft tissue recovery takes less time than the bone maturation and stabilization process. The total time depends on the extent of the procedure and individual healing.
In certain cases, it can. If the conditions for stable implant placement exist, both procedures can be combined. In cases of larger bone defects, the therapy can be carried out in separate phases.
If without a graft there is not enough bone for safe implant planning, we discuss other tooth replacement options and their advantages and limitations.
A sinus lift is a specific type of bone grafting in the posterior upper jaw, where a lack of bone may be related to the position of the maxillary sinus.
