Treatment Overview
Minor Bone Graft for Implants in Korea is a minimally invasive regenerative dental procedure designed to restore small areas of bone deficiency before or during implant placement.
Even small gaps or bone loss can affect implant stability — this procedure ensures a solid foundation for long-lasting and natural-looking implant restorations.
Korean dental specialists use AI-guided planning, 3D CBCT imaging, and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) healing techniques to perform bone grafting with microscopic precision.
By utilizing bioactive materials and digital navigation systems, they rebuild bone volume with minimal discomfort and faster healing times, allowing for immediate or early implant placement.
Korea’s integration of digital implantology, biological regeneration, and aesthetic expertise makes it the global leader in safe and effective minor bone grafting procedures.
Purpose & Benefits
The Minor Bone Graft System is designed to correct small bone deficiencies, strengthen implant sites, and ensure long-term stability.
Purpose
- Fill small bone voids or defects at implant sites.
- Enhance bone volume for secure implant anchorage.
- Correct socket defects after extractions.
- Prevent implant failure due to bone insufficiency.
- Preserve natural jaw structure and aesthetics.
Benefits
- AI-Guided Accuracy: Digital planning ensures exact graft placement.
- Minimally Invasive: Quick procedure with little discomfort.
- Faster Healing: PRF integration accelerates tissue regeneration.
- Predictable Outcomes: Ideal bone density for implant stability.
- Natural Integration: Biocompatible materials fuse seamlessly with native bone.
- Short Recovery Time: Most patients recover within 24–48 hours.
- Long-Term Success: Over 98% implant success in Korean clinics.
Ideal Candidates
Minor Bone Grafting is suitable for patients with limited bone loss requiring localized augmentation before full-mouth implant placement.
Ideal Candidates Include
- Individuals with small bone defects or localized loss.
- Patients requiring socket preservation post-extraction.
- Those planning single or multiple implant restorations.
- Individuals wanting minimally invasive procedures with quick recovery.
- Patients seeking AI-guided, precision implant surgery.
Possible Risks & Complications
While minor bone grafting is extremely safe, mild and temporary side effects can occur:
- Slight swelling or tenderness for 1–2 days.
- Minor bleeding at the surgical site.
- Temporary gum irritation or numbness.
- Rare delayed graft healing (minimized with PRF).
Korean dental specialists minimize all risks through AI navigation, sterile microsurgical tools, and regenerative materials, ensuring safe and predictable results.
Surgical Techniques Used
Korea’s Minor Bone Graft Procedures combine digital diagnostics, biologic materials, and microsurgical precision for superior healing and implant success.
Common Techniques Include
- 3D CBCT Bone Analysis: Detailed mapping of bone defect size and location.
- AI-Guided Planning: Virtual modeling of graft placement.
- Socket Preservation Grafting: Fills extraction sockets to maintain bone height.
- Onlay Grafting: Adds a thin bone layer where density is low.
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Application: Accelerates healing and reduces swelling.
- Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR): Uses membranes to protect and direct bone growth.
- Simultaneous Implant Placement: Often possible during the same procedure.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery from Minor Bone Grafting in Korea is fast and comfortable, thanks to minimally invasive laser and PRF techniques.
Aftercare Guidelines
- Eat soft foods for 24–48 hours.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol during early healing.
- Use prescribed mouthwash or saline rinse daily.
- Brush gently around the surgical site.
- Attend follow-up visits for digital healing verification.
Most patients resume normal activities the next day, with complete healing within 2–4 weeks.
Results & Longevity
Expected Results
- Restored localized bone volume and density.
- Improved implant stability and alignment.
- Natural gum contour and seamless aesthetic integration.
- Strong, durable support for long-term restoration.
Longevity
- Bone graft integration: Permanent once fused.
- Implant success rate post-graft: 98–99%.
- Healing time: 2–6 weeks depending on graft size.
Korea’s biologically guided systems ensure lifelong bone health and implant stability.
Treatment Process in Korea
Korea’s Minor Bone Graft Workflow uses AI-guided planning, CAD/CAM navigation, and PRF enhancement for maximum precision and patient comfort.
Step-by-Step Process
- Consultation & 3D CBCT Scan: Digital bone assessment and implant planning.
- AI Simulation: Virtual modeling of graft placement and implant position.
- Graft Preparation: Selection of biocompatible bone or synthetic material.
- Bone Grafting: Small bone defect filled using microsurgical tools.
- PRF Membrane Placement: Protects graft and accelerates healing.
- Healing Phase (2–4 weeks): Bone integrates naturally with surrounding tissue.
- Implant Placement: Performed immediately or after full graft healing.
