You may complain about missing or damaged teeth. Don't worry! You are not alone in this; millions of people around the world are suffering from the same problems as you. Dental implants are one of the most widely used solutions for missing and damaged tooth problems; however, our patients wonder whether they can get implant treatment in any case or worrying about the procedures that can be applied and ask the following question: 'Can I receive an implant without a bone graft?'. You don't need to worry. Do not think that you cannot receive implant treatment because of the loss of density in your jawbone. Many procedures, including the bone grafting, that can make implant treatments possible for you, exist in the dentistry. What is more, each of these procedures has been developed with your specific needs in mind and does not involve any difficult processes.

Can I receive an implant without a Bone Graft?
Why would I need a bone grafting for dental implants?

In the past, it was thought that if your jawbone was insufficient to support an implant in case of tooth loss, it was not possible to receive implant treatment. Therefore, many patients who desired to receive implant treatment were either turned down or had to try different treatment methods. Today, however, bone grafting has emerged as an important method for us to offer dental implant treatment to as many patients as possible. The part that supports the teeth in our jaw bones is called the alveolar bone. In cases of tooth loss, these bones become dysfunctional and lose their volume. Thanks to many application methods, bone grafts are frequently used to bring your bones with loss of density to a level that can bear an implant.

Can I receive an implant without undergoing a bone grafting?

For oral and maxillofacial surgeons, bone grafting has been a successful procedure for many years. However, you may not want to undergo an additional operation before receiving an implant treatment. Fortunately, there are treatment methods that respond to this demand in the dentistry.

Zygomatic implants

In the event that you experience a loss of bone density that prevents you from receiving implant in your upper jawbone, then zygomatic implants may be a good option for you. These implants, which have a length of around 3 to 5 cm, are larger than conventional implants. Within the scope of this method, the implants are fixed to the zygoma bone, which has a connection to the upper jaw bone and is known for its strength. Definitely, the biggest advantage of implant treatments applied in this way is that they make it possible for patients who have insufficiency in the upper jaw bone to receive implant treatment. Although the treatment process may vary according to the patient, it usually takes between 3 and 6 months. In addition to general health conditions, you may lose your jawbone as a result of an accident. In our dental clinic in Antalya, we have the ability to provide zygomatic implant treatments to all our patients who think that implant treatment cannot be applied to them for all these reasons.

All on 4 Treatment

All on 4 implant treatments are a successful treatment method for patients, who have lost all their teeth, in order to eliminate the need for surgical procedures such as bone augmentation and sinus lifting. With this treatment method, you can receive your fixed restoration on the same day on 4 implants placed at special angles. The biggest difference between them and classical implants is that all on 4 implants are positioned in the mouth with special angles. In this way, it is sufficient to make only 4 implants instead of 8 or 10 implants that, under normal conditions, are needed to be used for only one of the upper or lower jaw in a patient who has lost his/her all teeth.
All on 4 treatment is more cost-efficient and applicable method than conventional implant treatments for our patients who have lost all of their teeth. Implants positioned at an angle receive support from the region with stronger bone quality, thus preventing damage to your anatomical structures. All on 4 treatments also vary depending on special conditions, but still can be completed in a period of 3 to 6 months.
