A bone graft in Tijuana typically takes place during your implant surgery at SOTA Dental. When bone loss is mild, the surgeon can graft and place the implant in one visit. Most patients stay three to five days for the full process. The graft then heals around the implant over several months, and you return later for your permanent crown or prosthesis.
If your bone loss is more severe, a separate bone graft procedure is required. This trip only lasts a few days, but healing takes three to six months while the graft hardens. Once healed, you return to Tijuana for implant placement. The two trip system is simple for U.S. patients because many people drive to the border and walk across, making travel very easy.
With experienced implant surgeons, advanced imaging, and a fully equipped laboratory, SOTA Dental in Tijuana provides stable and predictable bone grafting even in more complex cases.
