Dental Bone Graft

A dental bone graft is used to support a dental implant. When a patient requires dental implants to correct tooth deformities, the success of the implantation depends on how much bone is available in the implant area. To create a dental bone graft, an orthopedic surgeon harvests bone material from the patient's own body, usually the hip. The bone graft fuses to the existing bones under the gums, thereby making the implant more secure. Dental bone grafts are one of the most expensive kinds of dental surgeries; in the US it may cost $4,000, and in the UK about £2,300. Overseas, orthopedic surgeons and dentists can perform the operation for much less.

In Argentina and Colombia, the cost of dental bone grafts are only $400-$600, or £240-£360. Most patients who opt for bone grafts abroad also get their dental implants in the same hospital, so the total cost of dental surgery is reduced. During the dental bone graft operation, a team of dental and orthopedic surgeons will harvest the bone tissue and apply it at the site of the implant. Surgeons in Latin America are knowledgeable and skillful, and many doctors have studied dentistry in the US and UK. Most surgeons and nurses speak English as well. Hospital facilities are very clean and equipped with the most modern technology. Patients will be in the hands of caring professionals who adhere to high medical standards.
