In that case, a bone can be transferred to the area, e.g. from the wisdom tooth area, the cheekbone or the tip of the jaw. If there is little bone loss, the bone graft can be placed at the same time as the implant. If the bone defect is large, a bone graft is made first, and after about 3-4 months after healing, an implant is implanted. The base of the buccal cavity can also be raised with a bone graft if there is too little bone below it for reliable implant treatment. Such bone graft surgeries may well be performed under local anesthesia. Sometimes a bone graft is needed a lot and then the bone graft surgery is done under general anesthesia. A bone graft is usually taken from the hip bone. In that case, the patient must be without a prosthesis for a few weeks to ensure that the bone graft adheres to his or her own bone. During this time, the patient is on sick leave. The temporary prosthesis is made after a few weeks and the implants are placed in the bone only after the healing period after 4-6 months. Such large bone grafts come into question, for example, when the patient has had a full prosthesis for a long time and wants a fixed implant-bearing bridge prosthesis in the upper or lower jaw instead.
