Bone augmentation — the basis for a firm hold
Where bone is missing, we first create a load-bearing foundation. This makes a metal-free implant possible even when the available bone is initially insufficient.
Bone that gives hold again
If a tooth is missing for a long time, the jawbone recedes at that spot. Inflammation can also break down bone. But a secure, durable tooth replacement needs a sufficient, healthy bone bed.
The foundation first, then the tooth
We first check exactly how much bone is present — if needed with a 3D scan. If the supply is insufficient, we compensate with a gentle augmentation before an implant is placed.
Good to know
Does a bone augmentation hurt?
The procedure is performed gently and under local anaesthetic. Most patients find it well tolerated.
How long does healing take?
That is individual. We allow enough time before an implant follows.
Is it also possible metal-free?
Yes — we consistently work towards a metal-free restoration.
Part of a well-considered overall concept
For us bone augmentation is not an isolated step but part of a biologically oriented overall plan — from diagnostics through healing support to the finished, metal-free tooth replacement.
Frequently asked
Is bone augmentation always necessary?
No. Often enough bone is present. Whether an augmentation makes sense is shown by individual planning.
Which material is used?
That depends on the findings and your wishes. We discuss the options openly and clearly.
Can I chew normally afterwards?
That is exactly the goal: a stable foundation for a tooth replacement that feels natural.
Is my bone enough for an implant?
In a personal consultation we clarify what foundation is present — and which path makes sense for you.
