What Bone Grafting Involves
Bone grafting rebuilds the alveolar bone volume required for implant placement. Grafting is indicated when bone loss, from tooth extraction, periodontal disease, or trauma, has reduced ridge width or height below the threshold for implant primary stability. Common techniques include socket preservation at extraction, guided bone regeneration with membrane, and ridge augmentation for larger defects.
Graft material selection depends on defect size and clinical indication. Geistlich Bio-Oss (xenograft) with Bio-Gide collagen membrane is the reference standard for GBR. Socket preservation grafts placed at extraction allow implant placement at 4–6 months without a second augmentation procedure.
You should request the implant brand and model in writing before committing to treatment, at a Montreal clinic or at Stunning Dentistry. The implant system specification (Straumann SLA/SLActive, Nobel Biocare Active, or equivalent) should be stated in the written treatment plan before any deposit is paid.
At Stunning Dentistry, bone grafting cases are planned using CBCT-guided imaging and fabricated surgical guides for all implant placements. The treating oral surgeon and prosthodontist review the plan before any irreversible procedure begins. The implant brand and model are confirmed in the written treatment plan provided before the patient books travel.

After Treatment: Monitoring from Montreal
The Dental Angel clinical handover document provided at discharge contains the implant brand, model, and lot number; abutment specifications; graft materials if applicable; prosthetic design; and a complete monitoring schedule. Any general dentist in Montreal can perform the monitoring schedule from this document.
At month 4–6 post-surgery, the patient attends a Canada imaging centre for a CBCT. The DICOM files are sent to Stunning Dentistry for remote review. The return visit for final ceramic delivery is confirmed only after osseointegration is verified on the Canada-taken CBCT.

People Also Ask
How much does bone grafting cost in Montreal?
Bone Grafting in Montreal costs approximately $2000–4500 per site at specialist clinics, depending on the implant system used and the complexity of the case. CBCT imaging and guided surgery planning are typically quoted separately, adding $1,500–$3,500 to the base implant fee.
Does Stunning Dentistry use the same implants as Montreal clinics?
Yes. Stunning Dentistry uses Nobel Biocare and Straumann implant systems, the same brands used by specialist implant clinics in Montreal. The implant brand and model are confirmed in the written treatment plan provided before the patient travels. Patients should request this confirmation in writing, not verbally.
Can my Montreal dentist maintain my implants after I return from India?
Yes. The Dental Angel handover document specifies the implant system, abutment type, prosthetic design, and monitoring schedule in a format any Canada general dentist can follow. The document also includes the CBCT referral specification for the osseointegration confirmation scan at month 4–6.
What if something goes wrong after I return to Montreal?
Post-return concerns are managed via remote video consultation with the Stunning Dentistry clinical team, at no additional charge for the first 12 months. The Dental Angel document allows any Montreal dentist to assess the concern locally first. If the concern requires clinical intervention, the SD team determines whether it can be managed by the Montreal dentist with SD guidance or requires a return visit.
