What Is a Bone Graft?

A костный трансплантат is a surgical procedure that adds bone or bone-like materials to your jaw. The graft material can be sourced from your own body (autograft), a donor (allograft), animal tissue (xenograft), or synthetic materials.

На сайте Клиника Витрин, мы используем biocompatible and safe grafting materials, tailored to your unique needs. Our oral surgeons perform the procedure with precision, minimizing discomfort and recovery time.

When Can You Get a Dental Implant After a Bone Graft?

This is the most important question and the answer depends on your specific case.

The timing between a bone graft and a dental implant varies based on:

• Та самая extent of bone loss
  
  
• Та самая type of graft used
  
  
• Твой overall health and healing capacity
  
  
• Whether the implant is placed immediately or delayed
  
  

Let’s explore the common scenarios:

1. Immediate Implant Placement (0–2 Weeks Post-Graft)

In some cases, especially when only a minor graft is needed (such as a small socket graft after tooth extraction), the implant can be placed immediately or within a couple of weeks after the bone graft.

This is known as “immediate placement” and is typically only possible when:

• There is minimal bone loss
  
  
• The surrounding bone is stable and healthy
  
  
• The patient has no underlying health issues
  
  

Our specialists at Vitrin Clinic will use 3D imaging to determine if this is a safe and effective option for you.

2. Early Placement (3–6 Months After Bone Grafting)

For patients who receive a moderate-sized graft, the general healing period is around 3 to 6 months before an implant can be placed.

This timeline allows:

• The graft material to fully integrate with your natural bone
  
  
• The bone to gain strength and density
  
  
• Inflammation to subside
  
  

This is the most common route and ensures long-term implant stability.

3. Delayed Placement (6–9 Months or More)

For patients with severe bone loss, a large or complex graft may be necessary. This might involve синус-лифтинг, ridge augmentations, или block grafts.

In such cases, it’s typically necessary to wait 6 to 9 monthsor even longer before placing the dental implant. This gives the grafted area ample time to fully heal and integrate.

Our team closely monitors your recovery with periodic scans to ensure the right moment for implant placement.
