Ridge augmentation in SmileBox Dental Clinic - Thonglor, Sukhumvit Branch

Ridge augmentation at SmileBox Dental Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, typically runs between $500 and $1,300. This procedure helps rebuild the jaw ridge to create enough support for successful dental implants. The clinic is SHA Plus+ certified and features a digital workflow using CBCT imaging and virtual reality to help patients stay relaxed.

Bone Grafting for Dental Implants

This procedure increases the width or height of the jawbone when it has become too thin for implants. A CT scan is used first to evaluate the bone height and plan the surgery. Most implants require about 10-12 mm of bone to remain stable. The surgeon uses local anaesthetic to make sure the process is comfortable.

Patients can choose from different graft materials based on their needs. These include:

• Autogenous bone: Bone taken from the patient's own body
• Allogenic bone: Prepared bone from a donor source
• Xenograft: Processed bovine bone material

Specialized Surgical Care

Dr. Suphachai Suphangul leads complex oral surgeries at the clinic. He is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who completed a Fellowship in Implant Dentistry at Loma Linda University in the USA. Dr. Suphachai Suphangul also serves as a lecturer at Mahidol University. He works alongside Dr. Vishal Sehgal, a prosthodontist, and Dr. Palawat Laoharungpisit to manage the full implant process.

Advanced Clinic Features

SmileBox Dental Clinic uses a fully digital workflow for better accuracy. This includes iTero scanning and CAD/CAM technology. In many cases, the bone graft can happen at the same time as the implant placement. This combined approach helps shorten the total treatment time for the patient. The facility has over six treatment rooms and is the first in Thailand to use VR headsets to reduce dental anxiety. Costs for ridge augmentation are calculated separately from the implant surgery packages. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to get a personalized treatment plan.
