A New Foundation for Improved Oral Health
When missing teeth or insufficient jaw bone pose challenges for dental implants, bone regeneration offers a path to restoring your oral health and achieving a confident smile. This innovative procedure rebuilds the foundation of your jaw, creating the support needed for successful implant placement and enhancing your overall facial aesthetics.
What is Bone Regeneration?
Bone regeneration is a natural process where your body creates new bone tissue. In dentistry, we harness this process to restore lost bone volume in your jaw. This is often necessary when tooth loss, gum disease, prior dental procedures, or injuries have caused your jaw bone to deteriorate over time.
Dr. Young Jun is specially trained to treat bone degeneration and can help you not only recover but achieve an all-new smile.
How Does Bone Regeneration Work?
At YJ OMS Dental Implants & Oral Surgery, we utilize a variety of techniques to stimulate bone regeneration, including:
- Bone grafting: This involves adding bone material to the deficient area. The graft can come from your own body, a donor, or synthetic materials.
- Guided bone regeneration (GBR): A special membrane is used to create a protected space for new bone to grow.
- Growth factors: These proteins stimulate the body's natural bone-building cells.
The specific technique used will depend on your individual needs and the extent of bone loss.
What are the Benefits of Bone Regeneration?
Enables dental implants: Bone regeneration creates a strong foundation for dental implants, allowing you to replace missing teeth and restore your smile.
Improves oral health: A healthy jaw bone supports your remaining teeth, reducing the risk of further tooth loss.
Enhances facial aesthetics: Restoring bone volume can improve facial contours and create a more youthful appearance.
Increases confidence: Regaining a healthy, functional smile can boost your self-esteem and quality of life.
The Bone Regeneration Process
Your journey to a revitalized smile begins with a thorough consultation, where we'll assess your bone structure and discuss your goals. This allows us to create a personalized plan using advanced imaging, ensuring the most effective approach for your unique needs. The bone regeneration procedure itself may involve techniques like bone grafting or guided bone regeneration, all performed with minimally invasive techniques for your comfort.
After the procedure, we'll closely monitor your healing progress and provide detailed aftercare instructions. Once sufficient new bone has formed, we can proceed with restorative treatments, such as dental implants, to complete your smile transformation and restore optimal oral function and aesthetics.
