Bone augmentation operations are procedures performed to create a suitable bone bed for the implant when there is not enough bone of sufficient length or thickness for the implant. Bone augmentation is performed either through an operation inside the mouth or by using artificial bone powders and membranes. In cases of very advanced bone resorption, areas outside the mouth can be used as bone recipient sites.
The best results in bone augmentation procedures are obtained with operations using your own bone taken from the intraoral areas. The disadvantage of this procedure is that in addition to the area where bone augmentation will be performed, a second operation area is created for bone removal. Artificial bone powders are used in smaller defects without creating a second operation site.
Bone augmentation and implant can be applied in the same session, or the implant can be applied after waiting for bone formation. All options will be presented to you by our specialist physicians and they will help you choose the most suitable procedure for you. bone augmentation procedures are operations with a high success rate for implant applications, the disadvantages are that post-procedure discomfort is higher than normal implant operation and the waiting time is longer.
