After tooth loss, the jawbone gradually undergoes atrophy (wasting away). This is a natural physiological process where the bone, due to a lack of stimulation and load, decreases in volume. This is why approximately 90% of patients who lost their teeth a long time ago present with insufficient bone volume for implantation.
For successful placement of a dental implant, sufficient bone thickness and height are necessary so the implant can achieve stable fixation and proper integration. When the existing bone is inadequate, it can be restored through special bone grafting procedures. This process involves adding biocompatible artificial bone material, which over time integrates with the patient’s own bone, creating the stable foundation required for implantation.
In the upper jaw, one of the most common clinical situations is the low position of the maxillary sinus floor. In such cases, before performing the implantation, a special procedure called sinus lifting is required, during which the floor of the maxillary sinus is elevated and bone material is added to the resulting space. This procedure significantly increases bone volume and creates optimal conditions for implantation.
At “Dens” clinic, it is possible to perform bone grafting and sinus lifting of any complexity using modern surgical protocols and high-quality biomaterials. The procedures are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring maximum comfort and safety for the patient.
With the help of modern technology and a team of experienced specialists, “Dens” clinic can successfully manage even those cases where a bone deficiency significantly complicates the implantation process.
