What is it?

Maxillofacial reconstruction restores facial and jaw structures that have been lost or damaged: bone that disappeared after losing teeth, defects left after removing cysts or lesions, or after-effects of trauma. Bone grafts, regenerative materials and, when appropriate, concentrates from the patient's own blood that support healing are used. The goal is to restore function and prepare the ground, for example, for dental implants.

The graft fills the lost bone and, once integrated, allows implants to be placed.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where does the graft bone come from?

    It can come from the patient or from safe, approved graft materials. The doctor will explain the best option for your case.

    Will I be able to get implants afterwards?

    In many cases, yes. One goal of reconstruction is precisely to build the bone needed to place them.

    How long does the whole process take?

    It depends on the defect and the plan. If a graft is placed, it must integrate before the next step, which usually takes several months.

    How much does it cost?

    It depends on each case. After the evaluation and imaging, the clinic will confirm the cost.
