Can a bone graft and implant be done at the same time? (Photo)

Question

Scott Young, DDS · Answer

It all depends on the situation.  If insufficient bone is available, the graft must be performed first and allowed to heal for 3-6 months.  Following bone growth, the dental implant can be placed.  If only a small amount of grafting is needed, there are times the dental implant can be placed at the same time as the graft.  Good luck.

Herbert Veisman, DDS · Answer

Only by taking a 3D CAT scan will we know for sure if an implant can be done with a bone graft (as well as a gum graft) or if a bone graft will need to precede the implant by 4-6 months. This is a determination that your periodontist or oral surgeon can answer for you. So the answer is: MAYBE

Derek Faktor, DMD · Answer

In many cases an implant can be placed simultaneously.These circumstances are reserved for the most ideal situations.One such as yours is a bit more delicate since you have some tissue deformities in the area.  I would suggest doinga simultaneous bone graft and soft tissue graft to build outand repair the area prior to placing the implant.  One youhave an ideal site to place the implant, I see no reasonto put a temporary post and crown on the implant theday it is placed.  This will help restore the tissues naturalarchitecture.

If there is inadequate bone for implant placement, it is recommended and more predictable to graft the site first and then place the implant after it has healed. In my experience, that is the best outcome and predictable results.
