Affordable Dental Implants in Hertfordshire

Bone loss and shrinkage is an inevitable consequence of tooth loss. The amount and extent of bone loss depends upon several factors including technique of extraction, time since extraction, wearing a denture following extraction and patient’s genetic susceptibility.

Bone grafting procedures may sometimes be indicated either, at the time of implant placement or at a separate appointment before implant placement to build the bone back to successfully host the implant.

At Artisan Implants we use a host of bone grafting materials and procedures, ranging from small particulate bone graft materials for smaller defects to Block bone grafts for more significant bone defects.

Bone graft materials can be derived from your own bone or harvested from a human donor. These can also be sourced from cattle or can be synthetic in origin. Regardless of their origin all bone graft materials act as a scaffold for your new bone to form.
