Bone Grafting

When Planning for One or Several Dental Implants, You May Find That Your Jawbone Volume is Insufficient to Support Them.

Inadequate bone volume can occur for several reasons, including:

Past infections around teeth that have damaged the surrounding bone.
Tooth loss left untreated for a long period, causing the jaw to resorb and shrink.

Vital structures such as the sinus or nerves being too close to the implant site.

Why Bone Grafting May Be Needed

Depending on the degree and nature of the bone defect, different techniques can be used. In some cases, a simple procedure using commercially available biomaterials or bone substitutes may be sufficient. In more advanced cases, a combination of your own bone and biomaterials may be required. For extreme cases, bone volume may need to be rebuilt using a block bone graft.

Bone grafting can often be performed at the same time as implant placement, but in some situations, grafting must be done first and allowed to heal for 4–6 months before the implants are placed.

Types of Bone Grafting Procedures

With extensive experience in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and advanced implant treatments, I regularly perform the following grafting techniques:

Immediate Implant Placement 
Placement of the implant directly into the extraction socket, often combined with bone substitutes to fill gaps around the implant.
Socket Grafting 
Packing bone substitute material into an extraction socket to preserve bone volume if implant placement is delayed by 3–6 months.
Guided Bone Regeneration
 Using a combination of bone substitutes and your own bone (in particle form) to increase bone width or height where required.
Sinus Lifting (Crestal and Lateral Approaches) 
Elevating the maxillary sinus lining to create sufficient room for implants in the upper jaw.
Autogenous Split Bone Grafting (Khoury Technique) 
A highly specialised procedure using your own bone in block form. The block is split into two thin bone plates to reconstruct both bone width and height — reserved for advanced defects.

My new teeth are truly awesome - I cannot thank Dr Han Choi and the team enough!

Martin Evans

After a really traumatic experience with another surgeon, I was nervous about trying again. But meeting Dr. Choi, the anaesthetist, and the entire after-care team completely changed everything. They were calm, supportive, and explained every step in a way that made me feel safe.

They fixed the complications I’d been struggling with and helped me feel comfortable and confident again. My implants look and feel amazing now, and the care I received—from surgery to after-care—was outstanding.

I’m so grateful to have found a team I can finally trust.

Marita Inglis

Dr Han Choi and his team showed outstanding kindness and professionalism throughout my treatment. I have long suffered from severe dental anxiety, but their empathy and support made a complex procedure possible for me. I underwent highly complex full mouth zygomatic implant surgery, and the results were excellent, with smooth healing and minimal bruising. Having had a previous traumatic full mouth implant experience in Turkey, I can honestly say the care and expertise I received here were incomparable. I highly recommend Dr Choi and his team for anyone seeking exceptional dental care.
