Bone and Gum Graft in Brussels and trazegnies
Dr. Alex Fneiche
Quick Summary
- 01A bone graft is a treatment used to rebuild lost jawbone when there is not enough bone to support a dental implant securely.
- 02A gum graft is used to restore receded or thin gum tissue, helping protect exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and improve long term gum stability.
- 03Bone grafting and gum grafting are both carried out under local anaesthesia, and most people find the treatment more comfortable than they expected.
- 04Initial healing usually takes around 7 to 14 days, while full bone healing after a graft can take several months depending on the area being treated.
- 05At Dr. Alex Fneiche’s clinics in Trazegnies and Brussels, every graft procedure is planned using 3D CBCT scans and digital imaging to improve precision before treatment begins.
- 06Bone graft cost is usually between €700 and €900 depending on the area and the amount of material required. Gum graft treatment is €800.
- 07The main goal of both treatments is to create healthier, more stable support for your teeth or future implants, while improving comfort, function, and long term predictability
01
You have been told you do not have enough bone volume for a dental implant.
A dentist mentioned your gum tissue has receded, and you are unsure what this means for your future oral health.
We have treated hundreds of cases that started with these exact concerns. In almost every instance, the anxiety experienced before the clinical consultation was far greater than the reality of the procedure itself.

Why Bone or Gum Tissue May Need Rebuilding
Bone and gum tissue can gradually diminish over time. This is not a clinical failure on your part. It occurs due to natural biological processes:
Tooth loss: When a tooth is extracted, the surrounding alveolar bone begins to resorb naturally due to the lack of mechanical stimulation.
Periodontal disease: Long term chronic gum infection can actively erode both the supporting gum tissue and the underlying bone.
Long term denture use: Constant pressure from removable dentures can accelerate bone resorption over time.
Natural ageing: Tissue volume decreases gradually, sometimes without visible symptoms.
The challenge is that once bone or gum tissue is lost, it does not regenerate on its own. However, it can be rebuilt precisely, predictably, and with documented clinical protocols.

How Dr. Alex Fneiche Approaches Bone and Gum Grafting
Every graft procedure in our clinic in Trazegnies or Brussels, follows a structured, digital protocol. There are no shortcuts and no surprises.
1
Step 1: Digital Assessment
A high resolution 3D CBCT scan maps your bone volume, density, and micro anatomy in detail. Digital planning software allows us to measure exactly how much bone or gum tissue is needed down to the millimetre. You see the scan, you understand the plan, and nothing moves forward until you are fully informed.
2
Step 2: Personalised Graft Plan
The graft material, surgical technique, and healing timeline are selected based on your specific anatomy rather than a standard template. If the graft is preparation for a future implant, the final implant position is already digitally planned at this stage. This ensures the graft is placed with the final aesthetic and functional result in mind. You receive a clear overview of every step, every appointment, and every expected milestone.
3
Step 3: The Procedure
Performed under highly effective local anaesthesia. For a bone graft, biocompatible graft material is placed in the deficient area, and a specialized membrane may be used to protect and guide tissue regeneration. For a gum graft, tissue is carefully repositioned or augmented to restore volume and coverage. Duration varies, but most procedures take between 45 and 90 minutes.
4
Step 4: Monitored Healing
You leave the clinic with written post operative instructions specific to your clinical case. Follow up appointments are scheduled in advance to track your progress. Healing is monitored, and if anything deviates from the expected path, it is addressed immediately.
04
What Makes This Process Different
We understand you have probably read similar descriptions on other dental websites. We invite you to notice the specific details of how we work:
Digital planning is not optional in our practice. It is built into every case. No graft is placed without a 3D scan and pre surgical simulation. This is how clinical predictability is achieved.
You are told the exact timeline before you begin. We provide a structured calendar of appointments, healing phases, and next steps.
If a procedure is not clinically indicated, we say so. Not every situation requires a graft. If your bone or gum volume is sufficient, we will not recommend a procedure you do not need.
With hundreds of graft cases completed, our extensive experience with varied anatomies means fewer surprises and faster, safer clinical decisions.
05
Cost of Bone and Gum Graft in Brussels and Trazegnies
We believe in complete financial transparency. The investment for our grafting procedures is structured as follows:
€700 to €900
Bone Graft
€800
Gum Graft
The exact cost depends on the extent of the graft area and the specific materials used. You receive a detailed cost breakdown before any procedure begins, ensuring there are no hidden additions.
During your consultation, the financial aspect is discussed openly, including what may or may not be covered by your mutuelle or insurance provider.

06
What Happens After the Graft
The graft is not the end of the treatment. It is the foundation.
If the graft is for implant preparation, once integration is confirmed via a post operative scan, the implant phase begins, which has already been pre planned from the start.
If the graft is for gum restoration, healing is monitored until full tissue maturation. You will notice improved comfort, reduced sensitivity, and a much more stable gumline.
In both cases, you are never left waiting without information. Every healing milestone is tracked and communicated.

FAQ
Q·01What is a bone graft in dentistry?
A bone graft is a treatment used to rebuild lost jawbone when there is not enough natural bone to support a dental implant or maintain long term oral stability. It is commonly recommended after tooth loss, advanced gum disease, trauma, or long term denture wear.
Q·02What is a gum graft and why might I need one?
A gum graft is a procedure used to restore gum tissue that has receded or become too thin. You may need a gum graft if your teeth look longer than before, if the roots are exposed, if you feel sensitivity to hot or cold foods, or if your dentist is concerned about long term gum protection around the teeth.
Q·03Do I need a bone graft before getting a dental implant?
Not every patient needs a bone graft before implant treatment, but it is often necessary when the jawbone has shrunk after a missing tooth. A 3D CBCT scan is usually the best way to determine whether there is enough bone for an implant or whether grafting is needed first.
Q·04Is bone grafting or gum grafting painful?
Bone grafting and gum grafting are usually performed under local anaesthesia, so the procedure itself is generally comfortable. Most patients say the treatment is easier than they expected. Mild soreness, swelling, or tenderness can happen afterward, but this is normally manageable and improves during the first days of healing.
Q·05How long does it take to heal after a bone graft or gum graft?
Initial healing usually takes about 7 to 14 days for the gums and soft tissues. Bone graft healing takes longer because the graft must integrate with your natural bone, which can take several months depending on the area treated and the amount of regeneration required.
Q·06How much does a bone graft or gum graft cost?
At Dr. Alex Fneiche’s clinics, bone graft treatment usually costs between €700 and €900 depending on the area and the amount of grafting material required. A gum graft is priced at €800. A clear explanation of the treatment plan, healing timeline, and cost is provided before the procedure begins.
Q·07How do I know if my gums are receding?
Common signs of gum recession include teeth that appear longer, visible root surfaces, sensitivity when eating or drinking something hot or cold, and discomfort near the gumline. In some cases, recession progresses slowly and patients do not notice it until it becomes more advanced, which is why an examination is important.
Q·08Are bone grafts and gum grafts safe?
Yes, bone grafting and gum grafting are well established dental procedures when they are properly planned and performed. Safety and predictability improve significantly when treatment is based on a detailed clinical examination, 3D CBCT imaging, and a personalised surgical plan.
Q·09How is graft treatment planned at Dr. Alex Fneiche’s clinics?
Every graft procedure is digitally planned before treatment begins. This includes clinical assessment, 3D CBCT imaging where needed, and detailed evaluation of the bone or gum condition. Digital planning helps reduce guesswork and allows treatment to be tailored to the patient’s exact anatomy.
Q·10Do patients travel from other parts of Brussels and Trazegnies for bone and gum graft treatment?
Yes. In addition to patients from Trazegnies and Brussels, we regularly see patients coming from nearby areas such as Anderlecht, Jette, Koekelberg, Berchem Sainte Agathe, Dilbeek, Mons, La Louviere, and Charleroi for bone grafting, gum grafting, and implant preparation. Many patients are looking for clear treatment planning, digital assessment, and a straightforward explanation of whether grafting is truly necessary.
