Bone augmentation with an implant solution
The best foundation for successful implant treatment
Bone grafting prior to implant placement is sometimes unavoidable because the jawbone resorbs over time following tooth loss. Without the natural stimulation provided by the tooth root, the bone lacks the necessary stimulus and consequently loses volume and density. Targeted bone grafting creates the necessary foundation for the implant to function effectively over the long term.

Bone grafting prior to dental implant placement
Adequate bone mass is crucial for the long-term stability of dental implants. The jawbone serves as the foundation into which the implant is firmly anchored.
If this foundation is lacking—due to long-term tooth loss, periodontitis, inflammation, previous surgeries, or severe bone loss in the posterior region—bone grafting (augmentation) may be necessary.
At Prof. Dr. Olze’s practice in Berlin Mitte, modern 3D diagnostics are first used to precisely analyze whether the available bone volume is sufficient for implant placement or whether targeted augmentation is required prior to implantation.
Why having strong bones is so important!
Adequate bone volume is crucial for the implant to integrate firmly into the jawbone. Only with sufficient jawbone can an implant remain stable over the long term, ensuring healthy chewing. In addition, sufficient tooth structure ensures aesthetically pleasing results and prevents loosening later on. Insufficient bone volume can significantly compromise the durability of an implant. Therefore, careful diagnostics always form the starting point of any implant planning.
Bone grafting as an investment in long-term stability
Bone augmentation involves specifically replenishing missing bone tissue to create a stable foundation for the implant. Various techniques are used for this purpose, including augmentation with the patient’s own bone or the use of biocompatible bone substitute materials. If there is very little bone tissue remaining, a sinus lift may be an option. If there is hardly any bone substance left, a sinus lift may be an option. In this procedure, the sinus membrane in the upper jaw is gently lifted, and the resulting space is filled with bone material to create sufficient bone height for an implant. In certain cases, a combination technique for volume augmentation may be appropriate.
Our collaboration with specialized colleagues
In more complex cases requiring extensive bone augmentation, Prof. Dr. Olze’s practice collaborates with experienced external specialists.
This interdisciplinary collaboration ensures that even challenging surgical situations are handled professionally. Once the healing phase is complete, the implant is placed back at the practice in Berlin Mitte—precisely planned and designed for long-term success.
