Who is a candidate for Bone Regeneration?
In our practice, each patient will receive a personalized treatment plan.
To make a proper diagnosis, to attempt to regenerate the bone,
patients are evaluated and treatment plans are personalized to each case.
​
This Includes:
​
Comprehensive examinations, radiographs are evaluated, and, in some cases, 3D scans are taken to determine the level of bone loss and the possibility to perform Bone Regeneration procedures.
​
If patients are candidates, Bone Grafts with growth factors are offered.
What Procedures Fall Under Bone Regeneration?
Such procedures are:
LANAP
Bone Grafting
Guided Tissue Regeneration
Biological Material Treatment in addition to Bone and/or Gingival Grafting procedures
​
In cases where bone regeneration cannot salvage the tooth / teeth - Bone Regeneration is performed at the time of extraction to prepare the ridge for Dental Implant(s). (Read more button)
Although LANAP treatments can regenerate some bone; if we encounter areas that can be helped further, we can then include additional procedures for further results.
Additional procedures are available and recommended depending on case by case.
