Bone Reconstruction

Whether in the upper or lower jaw: if the bone has deteriorated, this can make it difficult to fit dentures. Bone augmentation is therefore often necessary for implant restorations in particular. If this is not done in advance, it impairs the chances of success of the implantation, or it may not even be possible to implant at all. At Die Zahnarztpraxis, your experts for bone augmentation in Berlin-Zehlendorf, we always clarify in detail whether this is necessary in order to provide you with the best conditions for your dentures.

Whether periodontitis, tooth loss or in connection with age: the causes of bone deficits are manifold. In the case of periodontitis, the gums are affected first; however, if the disease progresses further, the jawbone also deteriorates. Missing teeth, whether due to illness or an accident, can also lead to a reduction in bone substance. Bone often deteriorates, especially in old age.

Professional bone augmentation can significantly increase the chances of success for your dental implant. If there is too little bone in the jaw, the implant body cannot find a hold there and cannot heal optimally. This can lead to implant loss. Bone augmentation in Berlin-Zehlendorf at Die Zahnarztpraxis prevents this. If necessary, we create optimal conditions by augmenting the jawbone and lay the foundation for successful implantation. True to our motto: Healthy teeth, for a lifetime.

For bone augmentation, the patient's own bone can be harvested from sections of the jaw that are easily accessible and regenerate quickly. Extensive regeneration takes place in the area where the bone is harvested, while the area where the bone is used is actively strengthened by the patient's own bone. Alternatively, we can also use proven bone replacement material. Bone replacement materials are extremely successful for certain indications, but are not suitable for all augmentations. Of course, we will clarify in detail which solution is best suited to your findings prior to treatment and advise you on this.

The most common and most successful augmentation method is performed in the posterior region of the upper jaw. This is known as a sinus lift, in which bone replacement material is placed under the sinus mucosa as a guide for the ingrowth of the body's own bone. Depending on the bone deficit in your jaw and where implantation is planned, methods other than the sinus lift can also be used, for example:

diezahnarztpraxis is your professional dentist in Berlin-Zehlendorf. Benefit not only from our special expertise and experience, but also from first-class materials. We only use proven, high-quality materials for both bone augmentation and subsequent implantation.

Both before and after bone augmentation, we use low-radiation and therefore particularly gentle 3D images of the jawbone. This allows us to precisely clarify the anatomical conditions and optimally plan the placement of the implant before the operation. Did you know that omitting these images during diagnostics is already considered malpractice in France?
