Bone Regeneration for Dental Implants - Beaverton, Tualatin, & Portland, OR
A Strong Smile Starts with a Strong Foundation
Dental implants can permanently rebuild your complete smile after tooth loss and restore your comfort and confidence.
However, many people are told they’re not candidates for dental implants due to bone loss from gum disease or years of denture use. With our advanced bone regeneration treatments, we can rebuild the normal shape and density of your jawbone, creating a strong foundation for fully restored oral health.
Several factors can cause the upper and lower jawbones to shrink. For example, gum disease is a significant contributor to bone loss. Missing teeth can also lead to bone loss, as the body naturally absorbs unneeded bone tissue over time, which can cause a sunken facial appearance in long-term dental wearers.
We use several advanced methods to regenerate healthy bone structure and reverse bone loss. In most cases, this involves a dental bone graft, a process that places new bone tissue where it is needed. Periodontal Associates is proud to provide the most advanced treatments, including growth factors and stem cells to boost healing and tissue regeneration for the most successful results possible.
During your initial consultation for dental implants, we’ll thoroughly map the size, shape, and density of your jawbone using advanced imaging technology such as 3D CBCT scans. If there is not enough stable bone structure to support your implant posts, or if you require tooth extractions before implant placement, we’ll create a personalized plan to ensure the best possible outcome for your long-term oral health.
Periodontal Associates is proud to offer the most up-to-date techniques for successful bone grafts in Beaverton, Tualatin, and Portland, OR. If your graft would benefit from growth factors, such as platelet-rich plasma or stem cells, we’ll collect a small sample of your blood, similar to what is used for a routine blood test. We’ll use a centrifuge to separate the different parts of your blood and collect the growth factors, which will then be added to your bone graft to boost healing and ensure the most successful outcome possible.
Before starting your procedure, we’ll make sure you’re completely comfortable with safe and effective pain control, including sedation if necessary. When you’re ready, we’ll make a small incision in the gums surrounding the area where more bone tissue is needed. If needed, we’ll thoroughly clean areas of damaged bone or infection to create a suitable environment before placing your graft.
When your graft is in place, we’ll cover it with a biocompatible material and stitch the gums closed over the site. Over the next several months, your body will incorporate the new bone tissue, creating a solid foundation for your new smile. Growth factors can significantly reduce the necessary healing time, allowing you to enjoy renewed oral health as soon as possible.
Bone regeneration can be a game-changer for rebuilding and maintaining your oral health, especially if you’ve been told you don’t have enough healthy bone to support dental implants. As periodontal specialists, our team has specialist-level expertise in the most advanced surgical techniques to ensure successful dental bone grafts.
