Misconception That Bone Grafting Is Always Necessary

Seonjeongneung Station Dental Clinic Implant

Hello.

Are you looking for an implant treatment near Seonjeongneung Station?

I’m Kim Moo-jin, the chief director of D-Day Dental Clinic.

During a consultation not long ago,

I was asked this question.

Director,

I heard that if you get an implant,

you have to get bone grafting too, right?

You may have heard something like this

from people around you.

Especially when looking into implant costs,

the phrase “additional bone grafting cost” comes up often,

so it can feel like it is something you must do.

But this is a big misconception.

Bone grafting is absolutely not necessary

for every implant.

In fact, I have seen many cases where people

wasted time and money on unnecessary bone grafting.

So today, as a practicing dentist,

I want to clear up the misconceptions about implant bone grafting

for those looking for a clinic near Seonjeongneung Station.

If you read this post, you will clearly understand

when bone grafting is truly needed

and how to avoid unnecessary procedures.

1. Seonjeongneung Station Dental Clinic,

Do you really need bone grafting for every case?

Many people automatically think of bone grafting

when they hear “implant.”

"They said I’d need grafting anyway

because there isn’t enough bone."

I hear this from many people.

But this is only half true.

To place an implant,

there must definitely be a certain amount of bone present.

Just like a building needs

a solid foundation.

But the important thing is that

“everyone’s bone condition is different.”

Some people still have enough bone

even long after a tooth has been removed,

while others may have had a tooth extracted recently

but still have significant bone damage due to inflammation.

From my experience in treatment,

about 60% of patients can receive implants

without bone grafting.

When examined precisely with a CT scan,

there are often cases where the bone condition is better

than expected.

And yet, the problem is that some places

recommend bone grafting unconditionally.

2. Seonjeongneung Station Dental Clinic,

There are specific cases where bone grafting is truly necessary

So when is bone grafting

really needed?

It can largely be divided into two cases.

The first is when the maxillary sinus is

congenitally positioned low.

The maxillary sinus is the empty space next to the nose.

If it naturally extends close to the tooth roots,

there is not enough space to place an implant.

In such cases, a procedure to slightly lift the sinus

and fill the space with bone is needed.

The second is when a tooth has to be extracted

due to severe periodontitis, that is, gum disease.

If inflammation continues for a long time,

the surrounding bone can be greatly resorbed.

When the bone is damaged this much,

it is difficult to place an implant immediately,

so bone grafting is necessary.

But the key here is an accurate diagnosis.

You can never tell by visual inspection alone.

A CT scan must be used to precisely measure

1. bone height

2. width

3. density

If a clinic says bone grafting is necessary

without this process,

you should think carefully.

In fact, some patients came from other clinics

after being told that “bone grafting is required,”

but after CT confirmation, there were quite a few cases

where the procedure was possible without grafting.

Unnecessary procedures do not just waste time and money;

they also lengthen the recovery period.

3. Things to check when choosing a Seonjeongneung Station Dental Clinic

So what kind of dental clinic

should you choose?

The most important thing is an “honest diagnosis.”

It should not be a place that simply recommends expensive procedures,

but one that accurately understands the patient’s condition

and recommends only the treatments that are truly necessary.

When you have a consultation, check these points.

First,

whether they take a CT scan

and whether they show you the results directly

and explain them.

From my experience, when I show patients the CT screen directly,

most of them say, “Oh, so that’s why it’s needed,”

and understand.

There is nothing more convincing

than seeing it with your own eyes.

Second,

check whether they explain in detail

why bone grafting is needed

and what problems could occur if it is not done.

A clinic is trustworthy if, instead of simply saying

“there isn’t enough bone,”

it explains with numbers that the current bone height is a certain number of mm,

and that at least a certain number of mm is needed

to stably fix the implant.

Here is a summary of what I explained today.

Bone grafting is not always necessary

when getting an implant.

Through an accurate CT diagnosis,

check your own bone condition,

and receive bone grafting only when it is truly needed.

As it is a procedure that adds

time and cost,

I hope you choose a dental clinic that makes honest diagnoses

and recommends only the treatments that are truly necessary.

I sincerely hope that no one has to suffer

from unnecessary procedures anymore.^^
