What is a block bone graft?

A block graft is a type of bone grafting used to repair large defects in the jawbone. It involves taking a solid block of bone (often from the patient's own chin or the back of their jaw) and securing it to the deficient area with small screws.

When is a block graft necessary?

It is necessary when there has been significant bone loss (atrophy), and the jaw ridge is too thin or short to support a dental implant. It's used to restore both the height and width of the bone.

What is the healing time for a block graft?

After the block graft is placed, it needs to heal and integrate with the existing jawbone. This process typically takes 4 to 6 months before a dental implant can be placed into the newly regenerated bone.
