Common approaches
Depending on the defect, treatment may use socket preservation, guided bone regeneration, particulate grafting or a block graft. The material and technique are selected for the individual site.
Sequence and healing
Small grafts may be performed with implant placement. Larger defects may need grafting first and implant placement after several months of healing.
What to expect
Swelling, bruising and short-term discomfort can occur. Risks, aftercare and alternatives are discussed before consent.
