TREATMENTS
Alveolar Bone Graft in Argüelles, Madrid
When tooth loss leaves insufficient bone, an alveolar bone graft recreates the conditions needed to place implants successfully.
Bone graft: preparing the ground for the implant
When a tooth is lost, the bone that supported it begins to resorb. In some cases, this resorption is so significant that there is not enough bone left to place an implant directly. The alveolar bone graft solves this problem.
Types of bone graft
- Autologous graft: Uses the patient's own bone (usually from the chin or the jaw ramus). It is the gold standard in bone regeneration.
- Allogeneic graft: Bone from a tissue bank, previously sterilised and processed.
- Bone substitute materials: Synthetic biomaterials that act as a scaffold for new bone growth.
When is a bone graft needed?
- Long-standing tooth loss with significant bone resorption
- Bone defects after complicated extractions
- Failure of a previous implant
- Advanced periodontal disease
Healing process
After the graft, the new bone takes between 4 and 6 months to consolidate before the implant can be placed. During this time we carry out regular check-ups to verify the correct integration of the graft.

Frequently asked questions

When there is not enough bone to place an implant after a tooth loss, the graft regenerates the volume needed, recreating the conditions for the implant to be placed successfully.
It is done under local anaesthetic and is usually well tolerated. There may be swelling and mild discomfort for the first few days, manageable with the instructions we give you.
It depends on each case: the grafted bone needs time to regenerate before the implant is placed. At the first visit, using a 3D scan, we give you a personalised timeline.
