Iliac Bone Graft
At Balat Aesthetic, we offer iliac bone grafting for patients who require extensive bone reconstruction for dental implants. This technique uses bone harvested from the hip (iliac crest) to restore jawbone strength and volume.
What is an Iliac Bone Graft?
The iliac bone graft involves taking bone from the iliac crest (hip bone) and using it to rebuild areas of bone loss in the jaw. It is commonly performed to:
- Restore severe jawbone deficiencies for dental implants.
- Improve bone structure after trauma or disease.
- Provide a strong, natural foundation for long-term implant success.
- Prevent further bone loss and preserve facial structure.
The Iliac Bone Graft Procedure
- Consultation & Planning: 3D imaging and scans assess the level of bone loss.
- Bone Harvesting: Bone is carefully removed from the iliac crest under anesthesia.
- Graft Placement: The harvested bone is transplanted into the deficient area.
- Healing & Bone Integration: Over 4-6 months, the bone fuses with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation.
