Alternatives to dental bone grafting

Dental bone grafting is a subject that often generates a lot of doubts and even fear in patients. It is a technique indicated for reconstructing bone structures in the mandible and maxilla when patients have little volume or defects, especially those who wish to place dental implants.

Implants without dental bone graft: are there alternatives?

However, every patient is assessed individually. And today we have new techniques for bone grafting. In fact, for some, the indication of bone grafting is inevitable, while for others, there are alternatives to grafting, such as:

• Short implants (little vertical bone volume)
• Small diameter pins (little horizontal bone volume)
• Roxolid Straumann reinforced titanium implants (smaller and stronger)
• Implant + simultaneous graft
• Bone micrografts or small grafts
• All on four” technique for full arches
• Inclined implants
• Zygomatic implant
• Guided surgeries with short or tilted implants

Small bone grafts or micrografts are alternatives to bone grafts

ImplArt Odontologia’s philosophy is to avoid bone grafts as much as possible and has mastered alternative techniques to avoid their use whenever possible. By avoiding dental bone grafting, treatment becomes faster and the patient undergoes fewer surgical steps. However, nowadays bone grafts are small and very restricted to the implant site. In the past, only large grafts were performed.

That’s why the micrograft technique is better and has less pain after surgery. Dental implants without grafting before and after Dr. Roberto Markarian, the clinic’s coordinator, is an experienced dental implant specialist with more than a thousand implants installed, and cases of before and after implants.

Thanks to its extensive clinical and surgical experience, ImplArt has been able to treat countless cases without bone grafts – which may have been indicated by other specialists. The indication of techniques depends on a thorough examination of the patient, as well as their tests, such as CT scans and X-rays.

If you have them, come to your assessment appointment with all your tests. If you don’t have them, for your convenience they can be carried out in our digital radiology center inside the clinic (at a separate cost).
