Dental Bone Grafting in Da Nang
Rebuilding lost jaw bone so that an implant has a solid, predictable foundation to sit in — assessed with CBCT imaging inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital.
Bone grafting rebuilds jaw bone where it has become too thin or too low to hold a dental implant securely. When a tooth has been missing for some time, the bone that used to support it tends to shrink — grafting restores that volume so a future implant has a solid, predictable foundation to sit in.
At Vinmec Picasso, the need for a graft is judged from CBCT 3D imaging inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital, so the decision is based on a real measurement of your bone rather than a guess.
When a graft is needed
Not everyone who wants an implant needs a graft. Your CBCT scan shows how much bone you have and exactly where it is lacking. If there is already enough healthy bone, the implant can often be placed directly. If not, a graft can rebuild the site so implants stay a realistic option rather than being ruled out. The graft and any later implant are planned together from the start.
How it heals
Grafting material is placed where bone is needed and protected while your body builds new bone around and through it. This maturing takes time, which is why implants usually follow after a healing period rather than on the same day. A follow-up scan confirms when the site is ready. Throughout, you have a written plan setting out the type of graft, the expected timeline and the fees before anything is booked.

Is it right for you?
Often recommended when:
- A CBCT scan shows too little bone to hold an implant securely
- A tooth has been missing long enough for the bone to shrink
- You want to keep implants as an option rather than rule them out
May not be the right option when:
- There is already enough healthy bone to place an implant directly
- Health factors mean healing is a concern and need review first
Suitability is confirmed only after a clinical examination and CBCT 3D imaging. Alternatives are discussed where they exist.
What the treatment involves
Assessment & CBCT imaging
A 3D scan measures how much bone you have and where it is thin, so the graft and any later implant are planned together, not separately.
Written plan & timing
You receive a plan explaining the type of graft suggested, the healing time before implants, and the fees involved.
Grafting procedure
Grafting material is placed where bone is needed and protected so your body can build new bone around it, usually under local anesthesia.
Healing & reassessment
The site is left to heal and mature; a follow-up scan confirms when it is ready to support an implant.
Recovery & aftercare
- Expect some swelling and a soft diet in the first days; written aftercare guidance is provided.
- Keeping the area clean and undisturbed helps the graft heal as planned.
- A review, often with a repeat scan, confirms the site is ready before implant placement.
