BONE GRAFTS FOR IMPLANTS

A dental bone graft adds or preserves bone where an implant site is too thin or has changed after tooth loss. It may improve implant planning, but it also adds cost, healing time and another potential complication.

Prices last checked: August 2026. Illustrative overseas graft fees range from about £200 to £1,200+, depending on size, material and surgery.

Why might a graft be recommended?

  • bone loss after long-term tooth absence;
  • infection or trauma damaged the socket;
  • the ridge is too narrow for planned implant position;
  • bone preservation is needed during extraction;
  • a previous implant failed with bone loss.

Simultaneous or staged?

Small grafts may be placed with an implant; larger defects may need healing first. Ask what evidence shows the graft is necessary and how success will be assessed before the next stage.

TRIP-PLANNING TOOL

Dental Treatment Recovery Calculator

Select every procedure planned for the same trip. The calculator uses the most conservative selected estimate, because combining treatments can extend recovery.

Which procedures are you considering?
Important: This is a general planning aid, not personalised medical clearance. Your dentist or surgeon must set your travel timetable after examining you. Complications, infection, sedation, multiple procedures and existing health conditions can require a longer stay. Seek urgent professional help for heavy bleeding, breathing or swallowing difficulty, rapidly increasing swelling, fever or severe uncontrolled pain.

Questions before travelling

  • Can I see the defect on the scan?
  • Which material and membrane will be used?
  • Who performs the surgery?
  • How long before implant placement or loading?
  • Who treats exposure, infection or graft failure?

Home care

Protect the site, follow brushing and mouthwash instructions, avoid smoking and do not disturb particles or sutures. Increasing swelling, fever, pus or wound opening needs prompt review.
