Bone Grafting (Augmentation)
A Strong Foundation for Your Dental Implants

For secure and long-term hold of dental implants, we rely on high biological compatibility: your own bone. Our surgical team in Munich cares for you during jaw reconstruction with attentiveness and years of expertise.

Bone Recession

When the Foundation Diminishes

After tooth loss, the unused jawbone at that site gradually resorbs ('use it or lose it'). Without the daily loading from chewing through the tooth root, the jaw diminishes in both height and width.

  • Insufficient Hold: Without adequate, solid bone volume, dental implants cannot be securely anchored, as they simply lack the foundation.
  • Visual Changes: Significant jawbone recession can, over time, cause the mouth and cheek areas to lose some of their structural support.
  • Concerns About the Procedure: Many patients initially have reservations about the treatment because they fear unclear healing phases or the use of synthetic bone substitute materials.

With a minimally invasive bone graft (augmentation), we can biologically rebuild missing volume and optimally prepare the jaw for an implant.

Biological Approach

Why Your Own Bone Is Often the Proven Choice

At MEDICAL ART, we prefer to work with your own bone tissue. This allows us in many cases to completely avoid synthetic or animal-derived substitute materials.

Your autologous bone brings living cells and natural growth factors with it. This enormously supports the healing process and provides biologically excellent conditions for the planned dental implant to later heal reliably and securely. Since we work exclusively with your own tissue in this procedure, the risk of rejection reactions is also significantly reduced.

Why MEDICAL ART?

The Advantages of Our Surgical Method

High Compatibility

The use of the patient's own bone optimally supports the body's natural healing processes – generally without foreign tissue.

Three-Dimensional Planning

With modern 3D X-ray technology (Digital Volume Tomography, DVT), we create a very precise image of your jaw beforehand. This enables a gentle and minimally inv

Good Integration

Thanks to the living, autologous cells in the grafted bone, the remodelling in the jaw usually progresses very quickly and stably.

Calm Care

Procedures on the jaw require a sensitive touch. Our surgical team takes plenty of time for you and explains every step in detail.

Patient Voices

Experiences from Our Clinic

Ich bin starke Angstpatientin aber gehe Dank der außergewöhnlich guten und schonenden Behandlung regelmäßig hier zur Kontrolle und zur Zahnreingung; 1-2 Mal pro Jahr. Dr. Rehm ist ein super kompetenter, geduldiger und einfühlsamer Zahnarzt. Die professionelle Zahnreinigung bei Frau Vatovci ist mit Sicherheit die Beste, die es weit und breit gibt - schmerzfrei, behutsam und gleichzeitig exrem gründlich. Kieferchirurgisch kann ich diese Praxis auch sehr empfeheln. 2014 wurden mir hier 4 Weisheitszähne, die quer im Kieferknochen lagen von Dr. Detsch entfernt. Es gab die Option durch eigene Zuzahlung eine Vollnarkose zu bekommen, was bei meiner ausgeprägten Angst schlichtweg nötig war. Die Wundheilung verlief erstaunlich schnell und gut. Ich bin sehr dankbar diese Praxis gefunden zu haben. <3

Investment in a Secure Bite

A solidly built-up jawbone is the most important prerequisite for implants to withstand the forces generated during chewing in the long term.

Our goal in the build-up is to maintain your foundation functionally and long-term. To keep you flexible, we offer straightforward instalment payment plans through an external billing centre.

Medical Transparency

The Cost and Treatment Plan

The effort depends heavily on how much bone is missing and where exactly in the jaw the grafting takes place (e.g., sinus lift in the upper jaw).

  • Based on our 3D X-ray image, you receive a transparent and binding cost plan before treatment.
  • Routine dental implants and the preparatory bone grafting are considered purely private services and are generally not covered by statutory health insurers in Germany.
Together Towards the Goal

The Bone Grafting Process

01

Digital Diagnostics

We create a 3D scan of your jaw. This shows us precisely how wide and high the remaining bone volume is.

02

Bone Harvesting

During the gentle procedure, we harvest some of your own bone from another well-healing site in the posterior lower jaw.

03

The Grafting

This autologous bone is precisely placed as fine material at the site where the implant is later to be positioned.

04

Supporting the Healing Period

After several months, the jaw has remodelled the material into solid, load-bearing bone tissue. The implant can now be placed securely and stably.

Treatment Without Fear

A surgical bone graft initially causes a small shock for many people – this is completely normal and understandable. At the MEDICAL ART clinic, we want to relieve precisely these concerns through education and empathy. If you have significant apprehension, we also offer the procedure under proven, specialist-supervised general anaesthesia.

For implants that are meant to accompany you long-term, a healthy bone foundation is indispensable. We reconstruct it most gently with the power that your body itself provides.

Questions About Bone Grafting

For smaller procedures, we often use small bone chips that are naturally produced as a by-product when placing the implant. For larger treatments, we usually harvest bone minimally invasively from the wisdom tooth area in the lower jaw, as these sites heal particularly well.
While we prefer autologous bone (the gold standard) to reduce complications, in certain specific situations we also use reliable synthetic or highly purified natural substitute materials as a supportive scaffold.
Yes, if there is enough bone in the immediate vicinity for stable initial hold of the dental implant (primary stability). If a significant amount of bone is missing, we usually only build up the bone in a first short session, allow it to heal, and then place the implant quite relaxed a few months later.
Thanks to effective local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia, the procedure itself is generally pain-free. In the days afterwards, swelling or mild wound pain may occur – similar to after a tooth extraction – but these can be very well managed with cooling and painkillers in our experience.
A standard dental X-ray (OPG) is two-dimensional. It doesn't show us how 'thick' the jawbone is. With the 3D procedure, we can not only check the bone width in millimetres on the screen, but also precisely identify the location of important nerve pathways.
