Dental implants are widely recognized as the most advanced, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. But what many people don’t realize is that not all patients are immediately eligible for implant placement. One of the most common challenges? A lack of sufficient jawbone volume. Whether caused by trauma, gum disease, or long-term tooth loss, bone deterioration can compromise implant success. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a powerful solution: bone grafting.
At Aesthete Dental Clinic in Dubai, bone grafting is performed with clinical precision, biocompatible materials, and personalized care. It’s more than just a preparatory procedure — it’s a foundational step toward restoring your smile with strength, symmetry, and lasting functionality.

What Is Bone Grafting?
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that restores or enhances bone in areas where it is insufficient to support dental implants. A bone graft serves as a scaffold or framework, stimulating the natural growth of new bone. Over time, your body replaces the grafted material with your own living bone, creating a strong, healthy foundation for future restorations.
Grafts can be made from:
-
Autografts (your own bone, usually from the jaw or hip)
-
Allografts (donor bone, medically processed and sterilized)
-
Xenografts (animal-derived bone material)
-
Alloplasts (synthetic biocompatible materials)
Each type is chosen based on your individual case, medical history, and treatment goals.
When Is Bone Grafting Necessary?
You may need bone grafting before receiving dental implants if you:
-
Lost teeth a long time ago and experienced jawbone resorption
-
Had a tooth extracted without socket preservation
-
Have congenital bone deficiencies or jaw irregularities
-
Suffered from advanced periodontal (gum) disease
-
Are planning a sinus lift for upper jaw implants
Without enough bone, implants may not integrate properly — compromising stability and longevity. Bone grafting restores what’s missing and helps ensure that your implants function like natural teeth for years to come.
Types of Bone Grafting Procedures at Aesthete
Socket Preservation
Immediately after tooth extraction, a bone graft can be placed to maintain bone height and width in preparation for a future implant.
Ridge Augmentation
This procedure rebuilds the natural contours of the jaw when bone loss has already occurred due to long-term tooth absence.
Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation)
Performed when placing implants in the upper back jaw. The sinus membrane is gently lifted, and graft material is added to increase bone height.
Block Bone Graft
A larger graft, usually taken from your own jaw, is used to correct significant bone loss or defects.
Each procedure is tailored to your needs and guided by advanced diagnostics to ensure optimal integration and healing.
The Bone Grafting Process at Aesthete

Comprehensive Consultation & Imaging
Using 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), the team at Aesthete will assess your bone volume, density, and anatomical landmarks. -
Treatment Planning
Based on your goals and clinical requirements, a personalized bone grafting strategy will be developed. -
Surgical Grafting
Performed under local anesthesia or sedation, the graft material is placed into the area where bone is deficient. The site may be covered with a protective membrane. -
Healing & Integration
Over the next 4 to 9 months, the grafted material fuses with your natural bone. Once integration is complete, the site is ready for implant placement.
