Bone grafting in Astana: types, stages, recovery

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure to restore the volume and density of the jawbone when there is not enough of the patient's own tissue to support a dental implant. The doctor selects the technique and material based on CT scan data: guided bone regeneration, ridge splitting, sinus lift, autogenous bone grafting, or synthetic materials. Healing times depend on the clinical picture. The implant placement itself takes about 20 minutes. The visit is longer: before surgery there is imaging and planning, and afterward a follow-up examination.

What the all-inclusive price covers

Our all-inclusive price covers the implant, the surgery with anesthesia and sutures, the healing abutment, the abutment, and the permanent crown. Follow-up examinations during the healing period are included in the price. Bone grafting and sinus lift are not needed by everyone: if they are required, the doctor tells you before treatment begins, not along the way.

By method

Bone grafting methods

The method determines exactly how bone volume is restored, so it is selected based on the scan and the location of the defect.

Instruments and materials for this type of treatment, laid out on a light surface — an illustration for the "Autogenous graft" section

Guided bone regeneration

Bone graft granules are placed into the defect and covered with a barrier membrane so that soft tissue does not grow into the area where bone should form. This method is considered for small and medium defects, when the walls of the site hold the material.

Autogenous bone block transplantation

A fragment of the patient's own bone is cut from a donor site, for example from the ramus of the mandible, and fixed with screws at the defect site. Unlike granules, the block holds its shape on its own. The doctor considers it for extensive loss of ridge width or height.

Ridge splitting

A narrow ridge is carefully cut lengthwise and split apart, and the resulting gap is filled with material. The width increases without a separate bone harvest. The method is suitable when the height is preserved but there is not enough width for an implant.

Ridge distraction

A section of bone is separated and gradually moved with a special device, and new tissue forms in the growing gap. Unlike splitting, it primarily augments height, and this is done in stages. The method is considered for pronounced vertical loss.

Closed sinus lift

The floor of the maxillary sinus is lifted through the site of the future implant, material is added, and the implant is often placed immediately. No lateral incision is required. The doctor chooses this method in the posterior maxilla when bone height is slightly insufficient.

Open sinus lift

Access to the sinus is created through a lateral window in the jaw wall, the sinus membrane is lifted under direct vision, and the space is filled with material. The method is considered for pronounced lack of height in the posterior maxilla or for an uneven sinus floor.

Why is bone volume restored before implantation?

The implant is anchored not in the gum but in the bone. If there is not enough bone, there is nowhere to place the titanium. We explain why volume is lost and what the doctor assesses.

Why bone resorbs after tooth loss

The jawbone lives under load. As long as the tooth is present and chewing, pressure is transferred to the tissue and maintains its volume. Once the tooth is removed, the load disappears, and the area begins to remodel. Within a few months, the ridge width noticeably decreases, while the height drops more slowly. The process is painless, so it is not noticed immediately. Thin bone of the upper jaw resorbs faster, especially in the posterior regions where the sinus is nearby. In the lower jaw, the picture is calmer, but even there volume does not stay the same. Other causes also contribute to the loss: inflammation around the tooth, trauma during extraction, a removable denture that presses on the gum. Sometimes the ridge is initially thin — that is the anatomy. Density also changes: the cancellous bone becomes looser, and the cortical layer thinner. Both parameters matter for the implant — volume and quality. If many years have passed, the deficiency can be pronounced. In that case, bone is restored first, and only then is implant placement planned.

When an implant cannot be placed without intervention

  • Narrow ridge: there is not enough width to surround the implant with bone at least a couple of millimeters on each side, and it remains unsupported.
  • Low height: the sinus or mandibular canal is too close, the screw would hit the cavity or nerve, so the floor is lifted first.
  • Empty space after extraction: the socket has healed, but the bone did not fill in, leaving a depression where the titanium will not sit stably.
  • Atrophy due to an old defect: the tooth was lost years ago, volume is gone, and without adding tissue, fixation is impossible (bone grafting cost here depends on the volume of the area).
  • History of inflammation: after periodontitis or a cyst, the tissue is loose and needs compaction and support, otherwise the implant will not hold.

What the doctor assesses on cone-beam computed tomography

The scan provides a three-dimensional picture, not a flat shadow. The doctor examines the ridge width at three points: at the edge, in the middle, and at the base. Height is measured to important landmarks — the sinus floor, the mandibular canal, adjacent roots. Density is assessed: where the bone is dense, where it is loose, and whether there are voids. Tomography also reveals hidden foci: cysts, granulomas, root remnants that are not visible on a regular X-ray. Based on these data, a virtual model is built and an implant of the required size is tried in. If it fits, surgery is planned immediately. If not, it is determined how much tissue is missing and in which direction. Sometimes the deficiency is small and is closed simultaneously with placement. In other cases, a separate stage is done first. The doctor decides based on the clinical picture, not on a single parameter. Tomography is also needed for monitoring: the result after healing is compared with it. Without such an examination, planning placement is impossible — there are too many hidden details.

What tasks the surgeon addresses

The main goal is to create support. The surgeon adds material to the area of deficiency and secures it so that the tissue does not shift. Sometimes this is not enough, and a membrane is needed: it separates the area from the soft tissues and prevents them from growing inward. If the ridge is thin, it is widened. If it is low, it is raised. The work follows a plan drawn up from the CT scan. The surgeon monitors two things: that the implant will later sit in the correct position and that enough bone remains around it. Another task is to preserve the adjacent structures. Nerves, vessels, and the sinus pass nearby, and they must not be damaged. After surgery, it is important that the area heals without loading. The patient receives recommendations, and the timeline depends on the extent of the intervention and on how healing progresses. Sometimes the implant is placed immediately, sometimes after several months. The doctor decides this based on the clinical picture. Restoring volume is not an end in itself but preparation: without it, placement is either impossible or unreliable.

How does bone grafting differ from a sinus lift?

Patients often confuse these concepts, considering them synonyms. In reality, they are different operations with different goals, and the doctor selects the option for the specific clinical picture.

What the two methods have in common

Both operations solve one problem: to make it possible for the jawbone in the required area to hold an implant. Where there is not enough of the patient's own volume, it is created artificially. The material can be autogenous, that is, taken from the patient, or synthetic, or donor. The surgeon places it in the defect and covers it with soft tissues. Then the body itself grows vessels and cells into this area, and gradually its own bone forms. Both procedures are performed under local anesthesia, sometimes with sedation. Both require time for engraftment, and implantation is not started during this period. Rehabilitation is also similar: restrictions on loading, hygiene, follow-up examinations. The difference is not in the goal, but in where exactly and how the surgeon gains access to the volume deficiency. This is what determines the choice of method in each case.

GoalFill in the bone defectLift the floor of the maxillary sinus
AccessIncision along the ridge or from the sideThrough the socket or a lateral window
VolumeDepends on the defectDepends on the bone height under the sinus
Healing timeDepends on the clinical pictureDepends on the clinical picture

Open and closed access to the sinus

When it comes to raising the sinus floor, the surgeon chooses between two access options. The closed technique is used if there is enough of the patient's own bone under the sinus for primary implant stability. In that case, the sinus membrane is carefully elevated through the prepared implant site, and the material is introduced there as well. The open technique is needed when bone height is insufficient. A lateral window is created in the wall of the upper jaw, the sinus membrane is raised, and the material is placed into the resulting space. Open access gives the surgeon direct visualization and allows work with a larger volume. Closed access is less traumatic but limited in its capabilities. The doctor makes the decision based on the scans and the thickness of the bone tissue. Sometimes the plan is changed during surgery if the CT picture turns out to be different from what was expected.

When only a sinus floor lift is chosen

It happens that volume deficiency exists only in the lateral part of the upper jaw, while there is enough bone in the other areas. Then there is no point in opening an additional area and taking material from somewhere else. It is enough to lift the sinus floor, and the implant gets support. This scenario is common: the upper chewing teeth are lost earlier than others, and over time the sinus descends, occupying the freed space. If at the same time a defect needs to be closed in another area, for example in the lower jaw, bone grafting of the lower jaw solves a separate problem and is performed according to its own rules. How much bone grafting costs in a particular case depends on the volume of material and the number of areas, but this is already a matter of the estimate, not of choosing the method. The main thing is not to merge the two operations into one: each has its own goal and its own technique.

Specific features of lower jaw bone restoration

The lower jaw is structured differently from the upper jaw. Nerves and vessels pass nearby, and the chewing load is higher. Therefore, bone restoration requires a separate discussion.

Why there are specific anatomical limitations here

The lower jaw bears the main chewing load and also moves. Inside it run the mandibular canal with the nerve and vessels; on the outside there is a thin cortical plate. The volume of bone available for implantation is limited not only by height but also by thickness. Deficiency develops after tooth extraction, with periodontitis, after trauma, or a cyst. Bone resorbs unevenly: in some areas enough remains, in others a narrow ridge forms. The surgeon balances between the needed volume and a safe distance to the nerve. If the ridge is too thin, it is first augmented, and implantation is postponed. The decision is made by the doctor based on scans, not on visual examination alone. Sometimes a small graft is enough, sometimes a two-stage protocol is needed. It depends on the clinical picture.

Where the mandibular canal runs and why it matters

The canal runs inside the bone from the foramen on the inner surface of the ramus to the mental foramen. It contains the inferior alveolar nerve, which is responsible for sensation in the teeth, lip, and chin. The canal lies closer to the lingual or buccal wall—this varies by individual. CT shows its course, diameter, and distance to the ridge. If there is little bone above the canal, the implant screw may injure it. Then the implant length is changed, it is tilted, or bone is first augmented above. Bone grafting is one way to move the safe boundary away from the nerve. But grafting in this area itself requires care: the material must not be introduced into the canal. Nerve lateralization is a separate technique, used when indicated. The doctor decides everything based on scans and the clinical picture.

Techniques used on the lower jaw

  • Autogenous bone: the graft is harvested from the patient themselves — from the chin, ramus, or maxillary tuberosity; it provides living cells and integrates well, but requires a second surgical site.
  • Xenograft: granules based on processed bone of animal origin; they serve as a scaffold into which the patient's own vessels and cells grow, and are gradually replaced by tissue.
  • Allograft: donor bone from another person that has undergone processing; it is used when there is no suitable donor site on the patient or when a large volume needs to be filled.
  • Synthetic substitutes: materials based on calcium phosphates; their composition is close to the mineral component of bone, and they are convenient for small defects.
  • Membranes: barrier films that cover the grafting area; they prevent soft tissues from growing into the region where bone should form.
  • Combination: materials are often mixed or combined with a membrane and screws; the choice depends on the size of the defect and on whether loading will be immediate.

How defect volume affects material choice

A small defect is a gap around the socket or a narrow ridge. Here granules of a bone substitute and a membrane are often sufficient. The bone heals under protection, and the implant is placed after healing. A medium defect is loss of part of the wall or ridge height. This requires a volumetric material, sometimes with screws to fix the membrane. A large defect is a jaw segment after trauma, a cyst, or removal of several teeth. Here autogenous bone is more often used as a block or mixed with granules. The patient's own bone provides cells but requires a second surgical site. Foreign or synthetic material is simpler, but its capabilities are limited. In the lower jaw, a load factor is added: the closer to the chewing teeth, the denser the tissue must be. The cost of augmentation depends on the volume and chosen material, but that is a matter of the estimate, not the technique. In each case, the surgeon weighs the risks and plans the stages.

How does bone grafting work?

The doctor does not transplant ready-made bone but creates conditions in which it forms anew. Let's look at materials, the role of the patient's own tissue, and how replacement proceeds.

Types of materials for augmentation

MaterialOriginFeature
Autogenous boneThe patient's own tissueHarvested from the jaw or chin
Allogeneic boneDonor tissueUndergoes processing and sterilization
Xenogeneic boneMaterial of animal originMineral base without cells
Synthetic substituteLaboratory synthesisDefined structure and porosity
Collagen membraneBiological materialMaintains volume and covers the defect
Bone chipsThe patient's own tissue from the surgical siteCollected during drilling

What the patient's own bone provides

The patient's own tissue does not trigger rejection because the body recognizes it as its own. It retains living cells capable of building new bone and proteins that direct this process. Harvesting is done from the area behind the third molars, from the chin, or from the surgical site itself if suitable material is there. The volume is limited: there is nowhere to take extra, and this is the main drawback of the method. Therefore, bone grafting in dentistry often combines—the patient's own chips are mixed with a substitute to fill the entire defect. The separate harvest site heals like a normal socket: first a clot, then granulation, then mucosa. Bone taken on its own does not always provide the needed volume, so the choice of material is decided by the doctor based on the clinical picture.

Synthetic and biological substitutes

  • Xenograft material: a mineral base of foreign origin with no cells in it; it acts as a scaffold through which blood vessels and the patient's own tissue grow.
  • Allograft material: donated bone after processing; it retains its structure but contains no living cells, so it serves as support rather than a source of growth.
  • Synthetic materials: hydroxyapatite and calcium phosphates with controlled porosity; the composition is predictable, the risk of infection transmission is minimal, and the rate of replacement depends on the granule structure.
  • Collagen membranes: they close the defect and prevent soft tissue from growing into the area where bone should form, and they resorb gradually.
  • Combination: substitute granules are mixed with the patient's own bone chips or secured with a membrane to maintain the ridge shape and volume for a future implant.

How new bone forms

After the material is placed into the defect, a blood clot forms and serves as the primary framework. Within a few days, blood vessels and progenitor cells migrate into the area. Gradually, the substitute granules are resorbed and replaced by the patient's own mineralized tissue. The process occurs in waves: first soft connective tissue, then it is replaced by immature bone, which later remodels into mature bone. The timeline depends on the size of the defect, the density of the surrounding tissue, and the patient's overall health. Smoking, diabetes, and adjacent inflammation slow down the remodeling. Until the bone has gained sufficient density, the implant is not placed — bone grafting for dental implants is needed precisely to give the screw a solid foundation. Progress is monitored with imaging, and the decision about the next stage is made by the doctor. The doctor assesses whether there is enough volume and density for the screw, and only then schedules the surgery date. If the tissue is insufficient, the timeline is postponed and monitoring continues.

Jawbone Grafting: Indications

Bone volume restoration is planned based on the condition of the jaw, not on preference. There are several reasons, and each one is confirmed by the doctor through imaging and examination.

Atrophy After Tooth Extraction

After extraction, the tooth no longer transmits load to the bone. The jaw loses its usual stimulation, and the socket gradually heals over, but its volume decreases. During the first months, the socket walls thin out and the ridge height decreases. If the tooth was extracted traumatically, with damage to the walls, the loss progresses faster. The doctor assesses this on imaging: in some areas the socket is still visible, while in others the ridge has already flattened to the level of the neighboring areas. Then placing the implant in the desired position becomes difficult. Bone grafting in such cases restores the volume needed for stable fixation. The waiting times vary: sometimes restoration is done immediately, sometimes it is delayed until the soft tissues heal. The doctor decides based on the clinical picture, not the calendar.

Prolonged Tooth Loss and Removable Dentures

The longer a tooth is missing, the more noticeably the bone changes. A removable denture presses on the gum and the underlying bone, but it does not transmit load the way a natural tooth would. Constant pressure without natural stimulation gradually flattens the ridge. This is especially noticeable in the lower jaw, where the denture rests on a narrow strip of tissue. Over time, the denture begins to fit worse, to rock, and to cause sore spots. The patient comes in for a new denture, but the cause is not the denture — it is bone loss. In that case, before implantation or before making a new denture, the volume is restored. Computed tomography shows exactly how much tissue is missing. Sometimes the deficiency is small and can be resolved in a single stage. Sometimes the bone has resorbed so much that major reconstruction is required.

Inflammatory Processes and Periodontal Disease

Periodontitis destroys not only the periodontal ligament but also the bone around the tooth. Inflammation spreads deeper, forming bone pockets whose walls lose height. The tooth may still be standing, but the support beneath it is already incomplete. If such a tooth is extracted, a bone defect remains, and it is usually larger than after extraction of a healthy tooth. Chronic infection in that area also complicates implantation: the inflammation must first be eliminated and the tissues allowed to settle. Only then is the volume assessed. Sometimes granulation tissue and cysts are cleaned out and the cavity is filled with bone material. Here, bone restoration is carried out alongside periodontal treatment, not instead of it. The sequence of stages and the extent of intervention depend on the clinical picture.

Cysts, Trauma, and Congenital Defects

  • Cysts and tumor-like formations: a growing cavity inside the bone thins the cortical plate; after removal a defect remains, which is sometimes filled with bone material.
  • Jaw injuries: fractures and impacts leave uneven edges and areas without bone support, and before implantation the contour is restored rather than simply waiting for healing.
  • Congenital defects: clefts and underdevelopment of a jaw area require reconstruction in childhood or adolescence; the volume and timing are determined by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
  • Consequences of surgery: after removal of benign tumors or resection, a cavity remains, which is assessed on imaging and a decision is made whether it needs to be closed.
  • Atypical anatomy: sometimes the ridge is initially thin or sloped, and this is identified on tomography before implant planning, not during surgery.

What to keep in mind

The Decision Is Made by the Doctor Based on Examination Results

The choice of approach is based on imaging and measurements, not on the patient's wishes or speed. First, the volume and density of the bone, the thickness of the cortical layer, the condition of the sinus and the mandibular canal, the bite, and hygiene are assessed. Then the data are compared with the overall status: chronic diseases, medications, smoking, blood sugar. Only after that is it discussed whether surgery is needed at all and which one exactly. Sometimes the deficiency turns out to be borderline, and the decision is made in favor of implantation without grafting or with minimal intervention. In other cases, the volume is so insufficient that a support cannot be placed without preparation. The patient has the right to receive an explanation of why a particular path is proposed and to ask questions before treatment begins. A second opinion is also acceptable. Haste is a poor adviser here: redoing is harder than planning. The final word remains with the doctor, because he sees what cannot be seen in words.

Healing times are individual

There is no single calendar for everyone. The rate of graft remodeling depends on the clinical picture: the location of the defect, the initial quality of the bone, the extent of the intervention, age, and overall health. In one patient, a follow-up image shows sufficient density earlier, in another later, and this is not a deviation. Habits matter: smoking slows healing, and some medications alter the course of repair. Therefore, timelines are always given approximately and clarified as things progress. You should not compare yourself with someone else's story from the internet or with a roommate in the ward. It is more important to attend the scheduled check-ups and take images at the agreed time. Then the doctor will see in time how the process is going and adjust the plan. If unusual sensations appear, report them without waiting for the scheduled visit. Patience here is part of the treatment, not a pause in it.

Rehabilitation requires discipline

After surgery, a regimen is important, and it is quite strict. In the first days, load is limited, the area is not touched with the tongue or fingers, and one sleeps on an elevated pillow. Food is soft and warm, without crumbs or sharp edges. Smoking and alcohol are excluded: they interfere with healing and increase the risk of inflammation. Hygiene is selected individually, sometimes with antiseptic solutions and a soft brush, so as not to injure the sutures. Physical exertion, sauna, and flights are postponed for a period specified by the doctor. Attendance at check-ups and imaging is mandatory, even if nothing hurts. A missed follow-up is a lost opportunity to notice a problem early. Discipline does not guarantee the outcome, but it reduces the number of unpleasant surprises. Treating the recommendations formally means increasing the risk of repeat intervention.

The method and material are selected for the clinical picture

There is no universal protocol, although advertising sometimes suggests otherwise. Autogenous bone, allogeneic and synthetic materials, xenografts, membranes, screws, and pins are all tools with different properties. One material holds volume better, another remodels faster, a third is convenient for small defects. The choice depends on where the defect is located, what its shape is, and how much tissue is missing. Sometimes one material is enough, sometimes several are combined. A barrier membrane is not always needed: its use is determined by the type of defect and how important it is to maintain space. The technique also varies: access, method of fixation, work with soft tissues. All this is discussed before surgery so that the patient understands the logic of the proposed plan. Comparing methods with each other on a better-or-worse basis is incorrect: each has its place. The doctor decides, relying on diagnostics and the clinical picture.

Questions about bone grafting

The cost of bone grafting depends on the size of the bone defect, the material chosen — autogenous bone, donor bone, or a synthetic substitute — whether a membrane and fixation screws are needed, and the complexity of access, for example when lifting the sinus floor. The price also depends on whether the grafting is done separately or at the same time as implantation, and on the number of treated areas. The exact amount is given by the doctor at the examination after a CT scan, and current figures can be found in the price section on this page. Installment is available for 24 months with Jusan bank or 12 months with Kaspi, allowing the payment to be split into convenient parts.

Absolute contraindications to bone grafting include acute infectious diseases, decompensated diabetes mellitus, severe bleeding disorders, and active cancer. Relative limitations include pregnancy and breastfeeding, exacerbation of chronic diseases, use of certain medications such as bisphosphonates, and smoking, which impairs graft healing. Before surgery, the surgeon orders blood tests and a CT scan to assess the volume of bone deficiency and the condition of the sinuses. If a contraindication is temporary, the procedure is postponed until the condition stabilizes; if the limitations are irreversible, alternative prosthetic methods are selected.

It is impossible to fully restore lost bone volume without surgery: bone does not regrow on its own at the site of an extracted tooth if the deficiency exceeds the physiological capacity for regeneration. Conservative methods such as calcium supplements, vitamin D, or physical therapy maintain the density of existing tissue but do not create new height and width for an implant. Sometimes small defects are closed with a membrane and granules at the same time as implant placement — this is also a surgical step, just less invasive. If the patient declines surgery, the dentist may offer a removable denture or a bridge, but these do not solve the problem of jaw atrophy.

Placing an implant immediately after bone grafting is possible, but only when there is enough of the patient's own bone of good quality to achieve primary stability. More often a two-stage protocol is used: first the bone is restored, then after a few months the implant is placed so the graft has time to remodel. If the defect is large or there is inflammation, immediate placement is risky — the implant may fail to integrate. The decision is made by the implant surgeon based on CT data, and the patient is explained why a particular option was chosen.

Jaw bone grafting is needed when, after tooth extraction, trauma, or prolonged wearing of a removable denture, the bone atrophies and there is not enough volume for an implant. The upper jaw often requires a sinus lift, while the lower jaw requires augmentation of height or width in the posterior areas where the mandibular canal runs. Without restoring volume, the implant may become exposed or fail to integrate, so the surgeon first assesses bone density and thickness on a CT scan. The technique is chosen individually: guided regeneration, a bone block, or a combination of materials.

For bone tissue grafting in dentistry, autogenous bone taken from the patient, donor bone, synthetic substitutes based on hydroxyapatite, and combined materials with growth factors are used. Autogenous graft is considered the gold standard because it contains living cells and does not cause immune rejection, but harvesting it requires an additional procedure. Synthetic granules are convenient and safe, but they integrate more slowly and sometimes require a membrane to maintain shape. The choice of material depends on the size of the defect, the timing of implantation, and the patient's condition, and the decision is made by the surgeon after examination.

Lower jaw bone grafting is most often required in the posterior areas, where bone resorbs faster after tooth loss and the mandibular canal with the nerve runs nearby. The surgeon works carefully to avoid damaging the nerve and causing numbness of the lip or chin, so a CT scan is mandatory before surgery for precise planning. For augmentation, an autogenous block, granules with a membrane, or a combination is used, and fixation may include titanium screws. After surgery, swelling and limited mouth opening are possible, which resolve within a week if recommendations are followed.

Bone grafting in dentistry is the surgical restoration of the volume and density of the jaw bone, performed before implantation or in cases of atrophy after tooth extraction. The doctor replaces the defect with autogenous bone, donor material, or a synthetic substitute, sometimes adding a membrane and fixation screws to guide regeneration. The operation can be performed at the same time as implant placement or in two stages, when the tissue is first augmented and then allowed to mature. Indications are determined by CT and examination, and the timing and method are selected individually.

At our clinic, the warranty period for bone grafting depends on the type of procedure and is stated in the contract, but it applies only if all of the surgeon's postoperative recommendations are followed. The warranty period starts from the date of surgery and requires regular follow-up examinations and imaging to confirm the stability of the graft. If the patient smokes, misses appointments, or does not maintain oral hygiene, healing may be compromised, and in that case the warranty obligations do not apply. The exact terms are set out in the contract before treatment begins, and the doctor explains which factors depend on the patient and which depend on the clinic.

Kept putting it off because of work, never had the time. I was scared until the very last moment. I'm one of those people who asks again three times over — they were patient with me. The clinic stays in touch even after the appointment. We came in for a consultation and ended up staying for treatment.

I went in feeling like I was headed to my execution, to be honest. Honestly, I'm still surprised it was painless. Our whole family has been treated here — and that was exactly what I was afraid of —. We set up the installment plan right there on the spot, no running around to banks, just like we'd agreed.

We spent a long time looking for a clinic near home — came in for a consultation, stayed for treatment, and everything was done in one visit. They laid out the treatment plan by stages and by cost. In short: good. In my opinion, the price is fair for this kind of work.

Before this, I had only come for promotional offers and never really got proper treatment, but we're happy with the result — it feels just like my own tooth. Aset showed me everything on the X-ray. We came in for a consultation and stayed for treatment; they didn't order any unnecessary X-rays.
