Bone Graft Mexico

We use All Types of Dental Bone Grafting Materials, The most Common Material used for Allografts at our clinic is called BioGraft, One of the Top Grafts available in Mexico, Dr.Gavaldon was gone and visited the laboratory where this is made. Synthetic bone grafting material is uncommon at our clinic but there are many prestigious brands available.

Please Check The Classification Part of the website. We can get the bone from our own body, process bone, or synthetic bone.

Success Rate of BoneGrafting Materials is a subjective term. There are many types of bone grafting procedures and different extents and conditions that could affect the full integration of the bone graft. The success rate is at least 90% for dental implant bone grafts this is including grafts that reabsorb minimally but are integrated and serve their purpose.

Conditions that can cause a bone graft to fail are infections and not proper stabilization of the graft. Poor Hygiene, Smoking, Not the following aftercare, Periodontal disease, immune deficiencies, medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis, and surgical or procedure errors are the most common reasons for failure.  Indications of a failed dental implant bone graft include lesions exposing the graft, loss of a large amount of bone graft material, graft mobility, or signs of infection such as pus and drainage in the bone graft area.

Bone graft material and the re-absorbable membrane are non-allergenic materials. In theory, a patient can be allergic to anything foreign to his body, however, it´s very unlikely this can happen. It doesn’t matter whether the bone graft material is synthetic, bovine, or human these materials are non-allergenic.

The success of the Bone grafting procedure depends on both the Dentist and The patient, Our Maxilo-Facial Specialists or Periodontist will give you a complete list of aftercare, We understand you will be on vacation but is very important to follow them. If the bone grafting material fails, it will delay your treatment cost you more trips/vacations to Cancun, And in some cases, you will have to pay for the bone graft material again. We stand by our patient so this is a rare procedure, if it does fail come back and we will try a find a solution for your case.

The short answer is that smoking can negatively affect bone healing at any stage. Generally in someone having a bone graft, the gum tissue heals faster than the bone. Most likely your gum tissue has healed over your bone graft and initial bone healing has occurred. However, 3 weeks is not enough time for the bone to heal as it usually takes months for the bone to heal.

It is definitely better that you did not smoke during the first 3 weeks but smoking does increase your risk of the bone graft failing and compromising what you have undergone so far in treatment.

I would recommend stopping smoking and discussing this with your surgeon right away. He may be able to give you other alternatives such as medications like Chantix or Nicorette gum or a patch to help you with your nicotine cravings.

Obviously not smoking again is the best choice for your overall health, not only for your dental health or for the bone graft to heal well. Discuss smoking with your surgeon as soon as you can and I wish you the best in what you are undergoing in your life.

Cadaver bone that is used by surgeons today has gone through many processes to ensure its safety and it should not be a concern to you.
If you feel very strongly against using bone from a cadaver you have other options.
1- you can use your own bone, harvested from a second surgical site, or
2- you can use synthetic bone graft materials such as beta-tricalcium phosphate with good results.
There is also bone graft material of bovine origin (from cows), but I assume this may also be objectionable to you.
You may want to ask your surgeon about these materials.

Before starting the treatment, you should check with your dental insurance if dental bone grafts costs are covered and if any restrictions apply. Dental implants are not covered by dental insurance, but you may get some coverage for some parts of the treatment like bone grafting.

In cases when there is extensive bone loss, medical insurance will cover the bone grafting cost, if the treatment is proved to be medically necessary. If the bone loss was caused by accident, injury, or medical conditions other than dental health issues, the cost of bone grafts is usually covered by general health insurance policies. If the patient’s ability to eat is seriously affected and it can not be restored other options such as dentures, dental, or/and medical insurance may also provide coverage.

There is a couple of reason why you would need a Bone Graft at the time of Implant placement the two most common would be post-extraction Implants and Implants in the Sinus area. Post extraction Implant requires bone grafting material to cover any defects where the prefabricated straight Implant body might not match 100% of your tooth extracted or the shape of your bone. It is important that your Implant is fully covered by bone for long-lasting treatment. The other scenario could be a Sinus Lift when we have been missing the upper 2nd premolar, 1st molar, or 2nd molars for a long time we can have minimal bone between your gums and the sinus. In this case, we would be required to place Bone Graft material and place an Implant at the same time.

The ability to place Implants at the time of the Bone Graft depends on the number of good bone levels between the sinus floor and the crest of the bone. Normally, around 5 mm of bone is needed for the Surgeon to be able to find primary stability for the Implant. If the Surgeon cannot find primary stability then the Implant has a high risk of failure and/or will run the risk of poor angulation for the restorative phase. The advantage of placing the Implant along with the Sinus Lift procedure is that the patient will not require another surgery in that area and the Osseointegration time is reduced.

In order for us to diagnose if you will need bone grafting, we need to take a 3D CBCT Scan. We have a Carestream CS 9200 CBCT in our beautiful Dental Office in Cancun Mexico. Normal X-Rays 2-D, Periapical X-Rays, Bite Wings, and Panoramic X-Rays are not adequate tools to properly diagnose the bone quality and quantity. We take every measure to make sure each case is a success. Bone grafting might be necessary for numerous reasons including Extraction of teeth, Depress Sinuses Infections, Apicoectomies, Sinus Lifts, Large and Small bone defects. This Lifting procedure and each one would depend on the case’s unique situation and what the desired outcome for the restoration would be. Techniques such as platelet-rich plasma transfusions are sometimes used to promote tissue regeneration and healing time after similar surgeries.
Because we have CAD/CAM, 3D CBCT, Milling Machines, and 3D-Printers we are able sometimes to avoid the need for Bone grafting. Contact Our Office for more details.

The first decision that the dentist must make: Should I let the extraction socket heal spontaneously, fill it with a bone replacement material or insert an immediate implant? The best procedure depends on different factors in day-to-day clinical practice: tooth location, the condition of the bone and soft tissue, as well as the patient’s general state of health, his or her personal circumstances, and financial situation, to name but just a few factors. It is important that the treatment decision is discussed before the tooth is extracted. Depending on the option, the bone lost during the first four to six months is › 50 % for spontaneous healing1, › 56 % for immediate implantation, › 15–20 % for immediate implantation with “gap-filling”, and › 15 % for Ridge Preservation. The advantages and disadvantages of the treatment options are depicted.
