Dental bone grafting is often required before implant placement. At Elonix Clinic in Albania, bone graft procedures start from just 200 euros — saving up to 70% compared to UK and US prices.
A dental bone graft is required when there is insufficient bone volume in the jaw to support a dental implant. Bone loss occurs after tooth extraction, periodontal disease, or prolonged denture use. Without adequate bone, an implant cannot achieve the stability and osseointegration needed for long-term success. Your dentist at Elonix will determine whether grafting is necessary using a CT scan during your free consultation.
Elonix offers several bone grafting options depending on the extent of bone loss. Socket preservation grafts are performed at the time of extraction to maintain bone volume. Ridge augmentation adds bone width or height to a deficient ridge. Block grafts use autogenous bone from elsewhere in the jaw for larger defects. We use premium Bio-Oss xenograft material (bovine bone) from Geistlich, the global leader in regenerative dentistry.
At Elonix Clinic, bone grafting starts from 200 euros for a simple socket preservation graft. Ridge augmentation ranges from 300 to 500 euros depending on the extent. Larger block grafts cost 400 to 800 euros. In the UK, equivalent procedures cost 500 to 2,000 pounds. In the US, bone grafts range from 800 to 3,000 dollars. All grafting materials at Elonix are premium, internationally sourced products.
Most bone graft procedures at Elonix are performed under local anaesthesia and take 30 to 60 minutes. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with prescribed medications. Socket preservation grafts heal in 3 to 4 months. Larger augmentation procedures may require 4 to 6 months of healing before implant placement. Elonix provides detailed aftercare instructions and remote follow-up consultations during the healing period.
In some cases, a minor bone graft can be performed simultaneously with implant placement, saving you an additional trip. This is called a simultaneous approach and is suitable when bone loss is minimal. For more extensive grafting, a staged approach is recommended where the graft heals first, followed by implant placement in a second visit 3 to 6 months later.
