Hello, this is S-Plant Dental Hospital.

If you are considering dental implants, you may have heard the term “bone graft” at least once. In particular, when the alveolar bone has weakened or been lost, there is often not enough bone to support an implant, and bone grafting becomes essential. Today, let’s take a look at what bone grafting is and why it can be essential for implant procedures.

1. When a long time has passed after tooth loss

If a missing tooth is left untreated for a long time, the alveolar bone gradually disappears and becomes thinner. In this case, bone grafting may be necessary to fill in the insufficient alveolar bone before placing an implant.

2. History of severe periodontal disease

When the gums and alveolar bone that support the teeth are damaged by periodontal disease, the alveolar bone can weaken. In such cases, bone grafting may be needed to provide sufficient support for an implant.

3. Implant placement in the maxillary sinus area

In the upper molar area, implants are often difficult to place because the alveolar bone is thin or the maxillary sinus is located there due to the anatomical structure. In this case, the alveolar bone can be reinforced through a bone grafting procedure called sinus lift surgery before the implant is placed.

4. When the alveolar bone is congenitally thin

Some people are born with thin or insufficient alveolar bone due to genetic factors, and in such cases, bone grafting can provide enough bone for a stable implant placement.

5. When implant reoperation is needed

If a previous implant has failed or needs to be removed, the surrounding bone is often weakened, and bone grafting may be necessary.

In this way, when the alveolar bone is insufficient or weak, creating enough bone to support the implant through bone grafting can be a key factor in implant success.

The safety of a dental hospital is one of the most important factors for patients. Our hospital has proven its safety through 16 years of accident-free operation. In particular, the six lead doctors, all with PhDs in dentistry from Seoul National University, have strengthened the quality and expertise of treatment.

3. Safety of implant materials

At S-Plant Dental Hospital, we use only implant materials whose safety has been proven around the world. We use only genuine, certified implants from domestic and international brands such as Osstem, Dentium, Megagen, and Straumann.

If non-genuine materials are actually used during implant surgery and forced into place, their safety and durability cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, it is important to carefully check whether genuine implant materials are used before and after surgery before proceeding with the implant.

At S-Plant Dental Hospital, we use a digital guide implant method that performs a simulation surgery by checking the implant and prosthetic positions in advance before surgery, in order to determine the appropriate angle, depth, and location for stable implant placement. Using an implant guide minimizes the incision area and has the advantages of faster recovery and lower risk of bleeding and inflammation.
