When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area starts to shrink. Over time, this bone loss makes it difficult to place an implant securely. Bone grafts restore the missing bone volume so implants can be placed successfully and last long term.
Pros: Gold standard, living cells, excellent integration, no immune reaction.
Cons: Requires second surgery, more discomfort, limited quantity.
Pros: No second surgical site, readily available, safe, predictable.
Cons: Lacks living cells, slower integration.
Pros: Very strong scaffold, excellent volume stability, useful in sinus lifts.
Cons: Slower healing, some hesitation about animal sources.
Pros: Unlimited supply, no disease risk, safe for patients preferring non-biological.
Cons: Less natural integration, often used with other grafts.
Pros: Natural, accelerates healing, reduces swelling, lowers infection risk.
Cons: Not a graft by itself, requires centrifuge technology.
It depends on your situation: bone volume, health history, and personal preference. At Dent Blanche Dental, we customize treatment and often combine grafts with platelet rich fibrin PRF for the best outcomes.
Bone grafting opens the door to implants that can last a lifetime. Whether using your own bone, donor bone, animal bone, or synthetic material, each graft type has its role. And with platelet rich fibrin PRF, recovery becomes smoother, faster, and more predictable.
