It is not needed in every case. It depends on the amount and shape of bone where the implant will be placed. Even with placement right after extraction, a bone graft is sometimes done at the same time to fill the empty space, so you will be told whether it is needed after a CT diagnosis.
Not having enough bone does not immediately mean it is impossible. There are ways to strengthen bone, such as a sinus lift. We check the remaining bone with CT, evaluate your general health, and then explain the options that are possible.
Same-day placement on the day of extraction can be considered when there is no infection, enough bone remains and there is a safe distance from the nerve. If these conditions are not met, placing the implant after the bone has healed usually gives a more stable result, so we decide after an examination.
An implant usually takes several months, and longer if a bone graft is needed. We give the exact period after a detailed assessment, including a CT scan.
Based on experience with more than 45,000 implant cases, we treat a wide range of cases including bone grafts, sinus-lift implants, full-arch implants and revision implants. We diagnose precisely with equipment such as cone-beam CT, and specialists from each department work together to make the treatment plan.
Additional procedures such as bone grafting are generally non-covered. We give the exact cost after a detailed assessment, including a CT scan, and a consultation; for details, see the implant cost guide.
