Bone loss in the mandible or maxilla is a common challenge that can limit the options for restoring the smile using conventional dental implants. When bone volume or quality is not sufficient, placing an implant safely and stably becomes complex, forcing the search for innovative and customized solutions.
Platón Dental’s implantology specialists have the experience and advanced technology to offer bone regeneration treatments and minimally invasive surgical techniques that allow implants to be placed even in cases of severe bone atrophy.
With a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, we combine biomaterials, guided surgery and regenerative methods to restore bone support, guaranteeing functional, esthetic and long-lasting results that restore oral health and patient confidence.
The concept of “implants without bone” or “implants with little bone” refers to the possibility of rehabilitating edentulous areas with insufficient bone volume, thanks to previous or simultaneous techniques that regenerate or compensate for bone loss.
These techniques include:
Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a surgical procedure used in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery to stimulate new bone growth in areas where there is a bone deficiency, especially before or during the placement of dental implants.
The technique is based on placing a biocompatible membrane (resorbable or non-resorbable) over the bone defect to: avoid invasion of soft tissues in the bone space and favor the proliferation of osteoprogenitor cells, allowing the formation of new bone.
These strategies make it possible to offer solutions to patients who were previously considered unable to receive implants, avoiding the use of removable prostheses and improving their quality of life.

Low bone implants are indicated in specific clinical situations where the volume and quality of the maxillary or mandibular bone are insufficient to place a conventional implant. These situations include:
Before carrying out the treatment, an exhaustive study is performed with advanced radiological tests, such as 3D tomographies, which allow an accurate evaluation of the available bone volume and quality. This information is key to planning bone regeneration and defining the personalized implant technique that best suits each patient, guaranteeing effective and safe results.
Failure to treat bone loss can prevent stable and safe implant placement, significantly increasing the risk of implant failure.
Lack of bone support can lead to premature implant mobility or loss, infections and compromised overall oral health.
In addition, bone atrophy affects facial aesthetics, causing sinking or alterations in the contour of the face, which can have a negative impact on self-esteem and quality of life.
Therefore, bone regeneration and specialized techniques are essential to ensure the stability and longevity of implant treatment.
Low-bone implants offer a number of key benefits that make them the most advanced and effective option for patients with significant bone loss. These benefits include:
Access to treatment in complex cases:
Thanks to modern bone regeneration techniques, such as grafting and sinus lift, combined with 3D image-guided surgery, it is possible to place implants in patients who previously had few options. This avoids reliance on removable prostheses, which are often uncomfortable, less functional and limiting on a day-to-day basis.
Fixed and natural restoration:
Implants provide a permanent solution that integrates with the bone and functions like a natural tooth. This fixed restoration significantly improves the ability to chew a variety of foods, contributes to correct phonation and provides harmonious esthetics that restore the patient’s confidence and well-being.
Bone preservation and regeneration:
By stimulating the formation of new bone tissue through regeneration techniques and the use of biomaterials, these interventions help maintain facial structure and prevent deformities associated with bone atrophy. This is key to preserving facial harmony and avoiding changes in facial expression and shape.
Less invasive procedures with better recovery:
Guided surgery and the use of innovative biomaterials allow for more precise and smoother surgical interventions. This significantly reduces postoperative discomfort, swelling and recovery time, improving the patient experience and facilitating a rapid return to normal activities.
High predictability and safety:
Advanced digital planning facilitates the anticipation of possible complications, allowing the design of personalized and optimized treatments for each case. This approach increases the probability of success, reduces risks and offers consistent and long-lasting results.
Comprehensive oral health improvement:
Bone-free implant rehabilitation not only restores masticatory function and esthetics, but also improves the overall health of the mouth. It facilitates oral hygiene, prevents plaque build-up and reduces the risk of periodontal disease and caries, contributing to long-term sustainable oral wellness.
The team specialized in advanced implantology has specific training and extensive experience in bone regeneration treatments and implant placement in complex cases. This combination of technical expertise and clinical practice allows them to safely address situations of severe bone atrophy that require customized solutions and innovative techniques.
Its approach is based on a human and close treatment, in which each patient receives a comprehensive assessment, an adapted treatment plan and a constant accompaniment throughout the process.

Each case is approached with a thorough diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan that integrates bone regeneration and advanced implantological techniques.
The testimonials reflect the improvement in quality of life, confidence and well-being of patients who have recovered their smile and oral health.
Technology is key to success in cases of implants with little bone. Specialists use 3D tomography and digital planning software to visualize the bone anatomy in detail and design customized strategies.
Computer-guided surgery facilitates accurate implant placement, minimizing trauma and optimizing results.
Innovative biomaterials are used for bone regeneration, such as synthetic grafts, collagen matrices and growth factors, which stimulate bone formation and accelerate recovery.
The combined use of these technologies and techniques ensures safe, effective and comfortable treatments that restore function and esthetics in patients with significant bone loss.

The time required for bone regeneration varies according to the extent of bone loss and the technique used. Generally, this process can last from 3 to 6 months (2 to 9 months in the case of regenerated bone). During this period, the grafted or regenerated bone integrates and becomes strong enough to support an implant in a safe and stable manner. In some cases, advanced treatments and the use of growth factors can accelerate healing, but it is always essential to respect biological times to ensure long-term success.
The surgical intervention for bone regeneration and implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, which avoids any pain during the procedure. In addition, minimally invasive techniques are applied to minimize trauma and postoperative discomfort. In patients with anxiety or more complex procedures, conscious sedation may be used to enhance the experience. After surgery, it is common to experience mild swelling and discomfort that is effectively controlled with prescribed medication, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
In certain selected cases, when the bone quality and quantity allow a stable primary fixation of the implant, it is possible to perform the immediate placement of the piece together with the bone graft. This technique reduces the number of interventions and the total treatment time. However, most cases require a previous healing period to ensure adequate support, minimizing risks and guaranteeing optimal osseointegration. The decision is made after a thorough evaluation of the patient.
When properly treated, with precise planning and rigorous follow-up, the durability of implants in patients with bone loss is comparable to that of conventional implants. Hygienic care, periodic check-ups and control of risk factors are essential to maintain the health of the implant and surrounding tissue, ensuring that the restoration will function properly for many years.
