3D CT Bone Assessment
The height, thickness, and density of your jawbone are mapped in three dimensions with 3D CT, identifying exactly where and how much bone needs to be rebuilt.

Bone Graft Implant in Korea
When jawbone height or thickness is insufficient, rebuilding the bone first is what makes a stable, long-lasting implant possible. We diagnose with 3D CT and restore the bone with graft materials suited to your condition.
Final treatment plan, cost and duration are confirmed after in-clinic diagnosis.
Quick Answer
A bone graft implant rebuilds insufficient jawbone before or during implant placement, using one of four graft types: autogenous bone (including bone derived from your own tooth), allograft, xenograft, or synthetic bone. The material is selected after a 3D CT diagnosis of your bone height, thickness, and density. Our clinic is designated by the Korea Tooth Bank as an excellent clinic for autogenous tooth bone grafting.
Who it fits
Patient concerns this page answers
- Severe gum inflammation has caused significant bone loss.
- A tooth has been missing for a long time and the jawbone has shrunk.
- Your jawbone is too thin or short for a standard implant.
- Long-term denture use has worn the jawbone down.
Process
From photo consultation to in-clinic diagnosis
One-on-One Specialist Consultation
A specialist experienced in bone grafting reviews your scan with you and customizes the graft material and surgical plan to your bone condition and overall health.
Bone Graft and Implant Placement
The graft is placed to rebuild a firm foundation. Depending on your condition, the implant may be placed at the same time as the graft, or in a separate stage after the bone matures.
Prosthesis Connection and Precision Check
Once the implant integrates with the rebuilt bone, the prosthesis is connected and the treatment result is verified with precise imaging and bite checks.
Regular Aftercare
Periodic check-ups and maintenance guidance help the grafted bone and implant stay healthy over the long term, with reminder notices for your check-up schedule.

FAQ
Questions Patients Ask
Why do I need a bone graft before an implant?→
An implant needs enough healthy bone to anchor firmly, like a post set in solid ground. If the bone is too thin or short, the implant may loosen or fail over time. Rebuilding the bone first creates a stable foundation that supports the implant for the long term.
Which graft material will be used for me?→
It depends on the size and location of the defect and your bone quality. Options include autogenous bone, allograft, xenograft, and synthetic bone, and in some cases your own extracted tooth can be processed into graft material. The final choice is made after 3D CT diagnosis and explained to you before surgery.
Does bone grafting make the treatment much longer for international patients?→
In suitable cases the graft and implant are placed in the same surgery, which keeps the number of trips down. When the bone needs time to mature first, the plan is divided into stages that can be aligned with your travel schedule. The exact timeline is confirmed after diagnosis, since healing speed varies by patient.
