About This Treatment

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds bone material to the jaw to rebuild areas where bone has been lost. Bone loss commonly occurs after tooth extraction (the bone resorbs without a tooth root to stimulate it), from advanced gum disease, or from long-term denture wear. Sufficient bone volume is essential for successful dental implant placement. The procedure involves placing bone graft material into the deficient area, which acts as a scaffold for your body to grow new bone. The graft material can be synthetic (alloplastic), sourced from a tissue bank (allograft), or taken from another area of your own body (autograft). The graft is covered with a membrane to protect it and hold it in place while new bone forms. Healing typically takes three to six months, during which the graft integrates with your natural bone. After this period, the area is reassessed with a CT scan, and if sufficient bone has formed, implant placement can proceed. In some cases, a small bone graft can be done at the same time as implant placement, avoiding the need for a separate healing period.

Duration

1-2 hours for surgery

Stay Required

4-6 days

Visits

2 visits (grafting + implant placement 3-6 months later)

Materials

Bio-Oss (bovine-derived xenograft), Geistlich collagen membranes, Synthetic bone graft (tricalcium phosphate)

Typically Included

  • Consultation and CT scan assessment
  • Bone graft material
  • Collagen membrane
  • Local anaesthetic (or sedation if preferred)
  • Surgical placement of graft
  • Follow-up appointments and suture removal

Not Usually Included

  • Dental implant placement (separate procedure after healing)
  • Flights and travel insurance
  • Post-operative medication (antibiotics and painkillers, minor cost locally)

Good Candidates

  • Patients who lack sufficient jawbone for dental implants
  • Those who had teeth extracted long ago and experienced bone resorption
  • People with bone loss from advanced gum disease
  • Patients planning implants who need ridge augmentation

Risks & Considerations

  • Graft failure or partial resorption (uncommon but possible)
  • Swelling and bruising for 5-10 days after surgery
  • Infection at the graft site if post-operative care is not followed
  • The final amount of bone regeneration may differ from the planned amount

Should I Get a Dental Assessment Before Booking Abroad?

Yes. Getting a dental assessment before booking treatment abroad is the single most important step to avoid surprises, overpaying, or choosing the wrong clinic. A proper assessment maps your exact dental needs so clinics can prepare for your case in advance — rather than diagnosing everything after you arrive.

Without an assessment, most dental tourism patients receive a rough quote based on a single X-ray or a brief WhatsApp conversation. Treatment plans then change on arrival when the clinic discovers additional work is needed — leading to unexpected costs, extended stays, or rushed procedures.

  • Know your treatment needs before comparing clinic prices
  • Avoid bait-and-switch pricing — your case is documented upfront
  • Clinics receive your full case file before you arrive, so they can plan properly
  • Reduce risk of complications from rushed or poorly planned procedures

MyDentalFly's free dental assessment takes 5 minutes. You mark your teeth, answer health questions, and upload photos or X-rays. Our clinical team reviews everything and generates your personalised Dental Health Report with real clinic prices — before you commit to anything.

What Is a Dental Health Report?

A Dental Health Report (DHR) is a free preliminary treatment plan generated from an interactive dental assessment. You mark which teeth have issues on a visual dental chart, answer health and lifestyle questions, and optionally upload a photo for AI smile analysis. The report maps your symptoms to recommended treatments with estimated costs and matched clinics.

What's included in a Dental Health Report:

  • Interactive dental chart with marked teeth and symptoms
  • Recommended treatments based on your specific conditions
  • Estimated costs in your local currency (GBP, USD, EUR, AED)
  • Matched clinics with real prices for your treatment plan
  • Savings comparison versus home country prices
  • Flags for potential extras (bone grafts, sinus lifts) if applicable

Unlike a clinic quote — which is typically based on a single X-ray and a brief conversation — a Dental Health Report captures your full dental picture before any clinic sees your case. This means clinics can provide accurate treatment plans rather than adjusting prices after you arrive.

How to Compare Dental Clinics Abroad

Most dental tourism patients contact 3 to 10 clinics individually, receive quotes in different formats, and struggle to compare them. A structured clinic comparison tool lets you view up to 3 clinics side by side — comparing prices, materials, guarantees, and included services on equal terms.

What to compare when choosing a dental clinic abroad:

  1. Treatment prices — per-tooth costs, not just package totals
  2. Materials and brands — e.g. Nobel Biocare vs generic implants, zirconia vs porcelain crowns
  3. Guarantees — length of warranty and what it covers
  4. What's included — CT scans, temporary teeth, hotel transfers, aftercare
  5. Clinic credentials — accreditations, dentist qualifications, patient reviews
  6. Treatment timeline — number of visits required, total days needed abroad

MyDentalFly is the only platform that lets you compare up to 3 clinics side by side — with real treatment plans, verified pricing, and clinical assessments reviewed before you fly. No other dental tourism site offers this.

What Happens Before You Arrive at the Clinic?

With most dental tourism agencies, very little happens before arrival. You receive a quote, book a flight, and the clinic takes X-rays and creates a treatment plan on your first day. This means the clinic is diagnosing, planning, and treating in the same short visit — which is why complications and patient dissatisfaction occur.

A better approach is pre-arrival case preparation. Before you travel, the clinic receives your complete case file: dental chart, health questionnaire, photos, and preliminary treatment plan. The clinic reviews your case, confirms the treatment plan, and is fully prepared when you walk through the door. This means:

  • No wasted time on arrival — the clinic already knows your case
  • Fewer treatment plan changes after you've already committed
  • The right materials and lab work ordered in advance
  • A dedicated point of contact who knows your situation

With MyDentalFly, your clinic receives your full dental profile before you arrive — dental chart, health assessment, photos, and X-rays. Your treatment plan is confirmed with real pricing. No surprises on Day 1.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do bone grafting cost in Istanbul?

Bone Grafting in Istanbul typically cost £150-£350 per treatment. This is significantly less than the UK average of £800.

Is Istanbul safe for bone grafting?

Yes. Istanbul is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at partner clinics.

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for bone grafting?

You'll typically need to stay 4-6 days in Istanbul. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.

Does bone grafting hurt?

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic or sedation, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Expect moderate swelling and discomfort for 5-7 days afterwards, manageable with prescribed painkillers.

How long do I have to wait before getting implants after a bone graft?

Typically 3-6 months, depending on the size of the graft and how well you heal. Your dentist will confirm with a CT scan that sufficient new bone has formed before placing implants.

Where does the bone graft material come from?

Most clinics use Bio-Oss (a bovine-derived material) or synthetic bone substitutes. These are safe, well-researched, and widely used. In some cases, bone from your own jaw or chin may be used for larger grafts.

How safe is Istanbul for dental tourists?

Istanbul is one of the most visited cities in the world, welcoming over 20 million tourists annually. Dental clinics in modern districts like Sisli, Levent, and Atasehir are in safe, well-connected areas. Standard travel precautions apply, as with any major city.

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for dental treatment?

Most treatments require 5-10 days. Single implant placements or veneer preparations typically need 5-7 days, while full-mouth restorations like All-on-4 may require 7-10 days. Your clinic will provide a personalised timeline based on your treatment plan.
