In the past it was believed that once periodontal disease destroyed bone, it could not grow back. Recent advances in surgical techniques have made bone regeneration an important part of periodontal therapy.
Options range from simple bone grafting to the use of bone blocks and regenerative membranes. Often these techniques are combined with the use of biological molecules isolated from your own blood that accelerate healing and maximize bone regeneration.
These techniques can be used not only in the treatment of periodontal disease but also as part of endosseous implant placement and pre prosthetic surgery to improve the esthetics of conventional crown and bridge dentistry. Although bone grafting is an important part of periodontal therapy is not applicable to every situation. Our staff will discuss these treatment options with you during your consultation appointment.
