Bone grafting

A beautiful smile needs a solid foundation of healthy bone. Your bone volume may be lost over time as a result of prolonged gum disease, or the natural deterioration of bone that occurs when a tooth is removed.

Bone grafting is a standard procedure for saving teeth with severe periodontists.  Ever since the use of collagen membranes, bone grafting procedures have now become more predictable and successful than ever before. The combined use of bone graft materials, as well as collagen membranes, is referred to as “Guided Tissue Regeneration”. Guided Tissue Regeneration restores hard tissue to a tooth with a severe localized bone loss. Poor prognosis teeth with severe localized bone loss can improve tremendously and be saved for many years via this procedure.
