Dental bone graft in Turkey, Reviews & Costs of Istanbul Clinics

What is dental bone grafting?

A dental bone graft is a common surgical procedure that rebuilds bone in your jaw, often before receiving a dental implant. It replaces missing bone with natural or synthetic material. It may be recommended if you have lost bone through injury, gum disease, or tooth loss.

As with any surgery, it carries risks and the result varies from patient to patient.

Dental bone grafts in Turkey: In which cases?

The most common cases requiring dental bone grafting are:

• Teeth implant: People who are going to undergo a tooth implant surgery may be candidates for bone transplant surgery.
• Gum disease (periodontitis): A patient may suffer from infection damaging the gum. Thus, he can lose his teeth due to gingival infection. Therefore, this area must be filled with osseous tissue to maintain the dental implant.
• Bone loss: Poor osseous density makes a person older than he is. Bone deterioration in the jaw can cause the face to look shorter than it used to.

Types & sources of material used in this surgery

Several types of bone tissue can be used in grafting procedures, depending on their origin:

• Autologous graft: taken from the patient's own body, either inside the mouth or, for large reconstructions, from another site such as the iliac crest or tibia. It requires two surgical sites.
• Biomaterial graft: a synthetic material, usually ceramic or polymer-based, compatible with human bone.
• Allogeneic graft: bone tissue sourced from a certified bone bank, from a human donor and processed for safety.
• Xenograft: bone material derived from another species, treated for use in humans.
• Growth factors (e.g. PRF): evidence is limited. Stem cell approaches are experimental and are not a standard option. The reference treatment is the graft types above.

Your surgeon will help you determine the most suitable technique for your case.

What to expect before and after a dental bone graft?

Before your procedure, you will have a consultation with a specialist who will examine your jaw and take scans to plan your treatment. The procedure itself is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about one to two hours. After the surgery, you may experience mild swelling or discomfort, which typically goes away within a few days.

The full healing can take several months, during which time the new bone will naturally integrate with your jaw.

How is a dental bone grafts performed in Turkey?

If you are considering a dental graft in Turkey, here is a step-by-step overview of how the procedure is typically performed:

Preoperative consultation

Your dentist will conduct a thorough assessment using X-rays or a CT scan to evaluate the bone loss and plan the graft. Medical history and blood tests may be required.

The bone grafting procedure

When the patient is prepared under local anesthesia, the surgeon will:

• Make a small incision in the gum tissue.
• Place the bone graft material in the area with bone loss.
• Use a membrane or mesh to stabilize and protect the graft.

Healing and recovery

The graft will integrate with your natural bone over several months. You'll be prescribed painkillers and possibly antibiotics to prevent infections and ease discomfort.

Postoperative care with Turquie santé

To promote optimal recovery, we advise you to:

• Maintain excellent oral hygiene.
• Avoid hard or spicy food during the first few days.
• Refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol, as it can delay healing.
• Follow medication instructions carefully, including antibiotics and painkillers.

Possible complications and risks

Like any surgical procedure, dental bone grafting carries risks.

• Partial or complete graft loss: the graft does not fuse with the bone, and a new graft may be needed.
• Infection: more likely if postoperative hygiene rules are not followed, or in smokers.
• Nerve or adjacent tooth damage: possible, which is why surgery is planned with 3D imaging.
• Bleeding: possible at the graft site and at the bone harvesting site, if applicable.

Follow your surgeon's instructions closely and report fever, increasing pain, significant swelling or discharge promptly.

Our team can put you in touch with a specialist to discuss your risks before your dental implants.
