Dental Bone Grafting in Kenitra

# 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?

1. Assessment and Cone Beam scan. Precise measurement of the available bone volume and treatment planning.
2. Graft placement. Under local anesthesia, the material is positioned in the area to be rebuilt and protected.
3. Healing. The bone gradually regenerates over several months (the timeframe varies with the technique and the extent of the graft).
4. 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.

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.
