Bone Powder Graft

Bone powder grafting, also known as particulate bone grafting, is a procedure used to rebuild bone in areas where it has been lost due to tooth extraction, trauma, periodontal disease, or long-term denture use. It is a crucial step for many patients who want dental implants but lack sufficient natural bone to support them.

At Medixir Clinic, we use high-quality bone powder graft materials to promote regeneration and create a solid foundation for future implants. The bone powder consists of tiny granules made from either synthetic materials, donor bone (allograft), or the patient's own bone (autograft), depending on the case.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and involves placing the bone powder in the area of bone loss. It is often used in socket preservation right after tooth extraction or in ridge augmentation for implant site preparation.

Once placed, the bone graft material integrates with the surrounding bone and stimulates new bone growth. Over several months, the grafted area transforms into strong, dense bone capable of securely holding a dental implant. In many cases, a collagen membrane is used to protect the graft and guide healing.

Bone powder grafting is a minimally invasive and highly effective solution. It can be done alone or in combination with other procedures such as sinus lifts, ridge splitting, or implant placement. For small defects, it may be possible to place the implant at the same time as the bone graft.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a bone regeneration technique using fine granules of graft material to rebuild areas of bone loss in the jaw.
It’s required when the jawbone is too thin or soft to support dental implants, often after tooth loss or gum disease.
Materials include synthetic bone, donor bone (allograft), or your own bone (autograft), depending on the case.
It is performed under local anesthesia and is generally well tolerated. Some mild swelling or discomfort may occur.
Healing usually takes 4 to 6 months before implants can be placed, though minor grafts may heal sooner.
In some cases, yes. If there is enough bone support, implants can be placed during the same procedure.
Risks are low but may include infection, graft rejection, or minor swelling. We use sterile and safe materials.
No, it serves as a scaffold for new bone and is gradually replaced by your own bone over time.
Soft foods are recommended for the first few days. We’ll guide you on what to avoid.
