Types of Bone Grafts

  • Autograft: An autograft consists of using bone from the patient’s body (the most common areas are the hip and jaw), to replace the missing bone. Since it is taken from the patient, it has a high success rate and excellent biocompatibility.
  • Allograft: An allograft utilizes donor bone — from a human tissue bank — to rebuild jawbone structure. This approach avoids an extra incision site and is therefore less invasive.
  • Xenograft: This type of graft uses other humans or animal (usually bovine) bone material to allow for bone growth. It serves as a strong scaffold for new bone growth and gradually integrates with the patient’s natural bone.
  • Alloplast: A synthetic bone substitute (e.g., calcium phosphate) that promotes bone ingrowth. As a biocompatible and safe biomaterial, it provides an effective alternative for bone grafting with non-biological alternatives.

How Bone Grafting Works

The process starts with a small incision in the gums during dental implant surgery UAE and inserting a bone graft in the missing area to create a natural bone growth. This process also strengthens the jawbone which provides a solid foundation for implants. This will help guarantee proper integration of the implants as well as give them the durability they need for a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile long-term, but healing itself takes several months.

Healing and Recovery

Bone grafting recovery process is smooth and the best dental implant surgeon Sharjah suggests that initial healing may take a week or two but full bone regeneration will take around 3-6 months. They may have some swelling, or pain afterward, but everything is managed with properly prescribed medications, where the patient can easily get through the early days until the final dental implant placement.

Benefits of Bone Grafting

Who Needs Bone Grafting?

Bone grafting is also instrumental in patients that do not have enough jawbone density to support their implants, as this provides a secure base for them to succeed. Long-time edentulous patients suffer from bone resorption and would need a graft. And, patients suffering from periodontal disease who creates bone damage also get this procedure when there is a need to restore the strength of the jaws and support implants.
