Bone Treatment Procedures in Dentistry

Bone health plays a crucial role in maintaining strong teeth and successful dental restorations. When bone loss occurs due to missing teeth, gum disease, or trauma, specialized bone treatments are required to restore the jawbone's strength and structure. These procedures ensure stability for dental implants, prevent facial collapse, and enhance overall oral function.

At DentNavigator, we work with top-tier clinics in Turkey, offering the most advanced bone treatments performed by skilled doctors using cutting-edge technology. Whether you need bone grafting, sinus lifting, or ridge augmentation, our specialists provide high-quality care at affordable prices.

Types of Bone Treatments in Dentistry

1. Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds and strengthens the jawbone by adding bone material to areas where bone loss has occurred. This is often required before dental implants to ensure a solid foundation for long-term success.

Types of Bone Grafts:

Autograft – Bone is taken from the patient's own body (e.g., chin or hip) for maximum compatibility.
Allograft – Bone is sourced from a human donor, processed, and sterilized for safe use.
Xenograft – Bone is derived from animals (typically bovine) and used to support natural bone regeneration.
Alloplastic Graft – Synthetic bone substitutes (such as calcium phosphate) are used to encourage new bone growth.

2. Sinus Lifting (Sinus Augmentation)

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure performed when there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw (maxilla) to support dental implants. The procedure involves lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone material underneath to create a stronger foundation for implants.

Sinus lifts are ideal for patients who have experienced bone loss due to tooth extractions, periodontal disease, or natural anatomy limitations.

3. Ridge Augmentation

Ridge augmentation is performed to restore the natural shape of the jaw after bone loss caused by missing teeth. A bone graft is placed along the alveolar ridge to rebuild the lost structure. Once healed, the area provides a stable base for implants, bridges, or dentures—improving both function and aesthetics.

Find out how ridge augmentation helps restore your jaw structure.

4. Bone Expansion (Ridge Splitting)

Bone expansion, also known as ridge splitting, is a technique used when the jawbone is too narrow to support implants. Instead of adding bone material, the existing bone is carefully separated to create more width, allowing implants to be placed without additional grafting.

This minimally invasive approach reduces healing time and is ideal for patients with mild to moderate bone deficiencies.

Learn how bone expansion can improve your implant success rate.

5. Bone Resorption Treatment

Bone resorption occurs when the jawbone deteriorates due to missing teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to facial collapse, poor bite function, and difficulties in placing dental restorations.

Treatment options include bone grafting to regenerate lost bone, guided bone regeneration (GBR) using membranes to encourage growth, and emerging stem cell therapies to enhance bone regeneration.

Discover how bone resorption can be prevented and treated.
