Dental Bone Grafting in Kenitra
When the jawbone is insufficient to support an implant, a bone graft rebuilds the necessary volume. It is a common pre-implant surgical step, planned on 3D imaging. At Dr. Fatima Azelmat's practice in Kenitra, it prepares a solid foundation for a stable, long-lasting implant.

Dental Bone Grafting in Kenitra
Ce qu'il faut savoir
Why a bone graft?
To hold firmly, an implant needs sufficient bone volume in both height and thickness. Yet bone gradually resorbs over time after tooth loss, an infection, or advanced gum disease. When there is not enough bone left to place an implant, a bone graft rebuilds the deficient area to make the implant possible — and long-lasting.
The different techniques
Depending on the area and the volume to rebuild, several approaches exist:
- Bone filling / guided bone regeneration (GBR): bone material is placed and protected by a membrane, often at the time of an extraction or of implant placement.
- Sinus floor augmentation (sinus lift): in the posterior upper jaw, the sinus membrane is lifted to create bone height.
- Block graft: for larger deficits, a block of bone is secured in place and left to heal.
The choice of technique and material (the patient’s own bone or a bone substitute) is made after analyzing the Cone Beam scan.
How is the procedure performed?
- Assessment and Cone Beam scan. Precise measurement of the available bone volume and treatment planning.
- Graft placement. Under local anesthesia, the material is positioned in the area to be rebuilt and protected.
- Healing. The bone gradually regenerates over several months (the timeframe varies with the technique and the extent of the graft).
- Implant placement. Sometimes performed at the same time as the graft, sometimes after healing, depending on the case.
Pain and recovery
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Moderate after-effects (swelling, discomfort) are common in the first few days and are managed with the post-operative instructions and treatment. Following the hygiene instructions carefully promotes good healing.
Cost of a bone graft in Morocco
The cost of a bone graft depends on the technique, the volume to rebuild, and the material used. It comes in addition to the cost of the implant. For this reason, the fee is always set through a personalized quote, after the assessment and the Cone Beam scan.
| Factor | What makes the price vary |
|---|---|
| Type of graft | Bone filling / GBR · sinus lift · block graft |
| Extent | One localized area or several sectors |
| Material | Autogenous bone or bone substitute, membrane |
| Combined procedure | Performed alone or at the same time as the implant |
A detailed, transparent quote is provided before any procedure. As with implants, these surgical procedures are not covered by the CNSS / AMO.
Why Dr. Fatima Azelmat
Pre-implant surgery demands rigor: an accurate diagnosis, the right technique, and attentive follow-up. Dr. Azelmat plans every graft on 3D imaging and favors a cautious approach, to prepare for an implant on healthy foundations.

Frequently asked questions
Does a bone graft hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is generally well tolerated. Moderate after-effects (swelling, discomfort) are possible in the first few days and are managed with the post-operative instructions.
How long before the implant can be placed?
Depending on the technique and the extent of the graft, bone healing generally takes several months. In certain selected cases, the graft and the implant are performed during the same surgical session.
How much does a bone graft cost in Morocco?
The price depends on the technique (bone filling, sinus lift, block graft), the volume to rebuild, and the material. It comes in addition to the cost of the implant and is set through a quote after the assessment and the Cone Beam scan.
Can a bone graft always be avoided?
Not always. When bone is insufficient, a graft is what makes the implant possible and long-lasting. The Cone Beam scan makes it possible to assess precisely whether it is necessary and which technique is appropriate.
