Guided bone regeneration rebuilds bone lost due to extraction, gum disease, or trauma. Using a membrane and bone graft, it encourages new growth to support future implants or preserve facial structure after tooth loss.
We gently lift the gum, place a membrane and bone graft material, and allow the area to heal undisturbed. This technique promotes natural bone regrowth to support future implants or preserve jaw structure after extractions or trauma.
We rebuild lost bone using modern grafting materials and precision techniques. Whether preparing for implants or preserving your jaw, we ensure safe, predictable healing and long-term structural support for your smile.
Guided Bone Regeneration
Regrow jawbone for secure, long-term implant placement.
Guided bone regeneration is ideal for patients with bone loss due to missing teeth or gum disease. It’s recommended for those preparing for implants or looking to preserve jaw structure and prevent future complications.
Guided bone regeneration starts with a local anesthetic. We place a membrane and bone material to promote new growth. Most patients experience mild discomfort and smooth healing, helping create a strong foundation for implants or preserving jaw structure.
Guided bone regeneration procedures usually take 45–90 minutes. Healing time ranges from 4–6 months before implants or restorations can be placed. The initial appointment is efficient, and we’ll monitor healing closely during follow-ups.
Guided bone regeneration may require a few months of healing before implants can be placed. You’ll need to protect the area, avoid hard foods, and keep follow-up appointments. Maintaining gum health around the graft site is critical.
Healing takes several months. During that time, avoid hard foods and maintain great oral hygiene. We’ll monitor progress and guide you step-by-step until you’re ready for final restorations like crowns or bridges.
