Rebuild lost jawbone volume and establish a strong, dense foundation for secure dental implant placement.
Guided bone regeneration is a regenerative procedure that restores lost or insufficient jawbone volume, which is frequently required before placing dental implants. Bone deterioration can happen after tooth extractions, gum disease, trauma, or long-term missing teeth. We help you address:
Material Type | Source | How It Works |
|---|---|---|
Autogenous Graft | Sourced from another site in your own body | Uses your living bone cells to stimulate rapid, natural regeneration |
Allograft | Sourced from a certified human tissue donor | Serves as a reliable biological scaffold for your body's own bone to grow into |
Alloplast / Synthetic | Lab-created biocompatible mineral substitute | Provides a stable synthetic framework that encourages new bone integration |
We use advanced 3D CBCT imaging to evaluate your jawbone density and measure the precise volume needed for support.
We apply local anesthesia to ensure you remain entirely comfortable throughout the grafting procedure.
We place the biocompatible grafting material into the deficient area and secure it with a protective membrane.
We monitor your healing over several months as the graft naturally fuses and integrates with your existing jawbone.
When Dr. Mohammad Hammoud plans guided bone regeneration, he evaluates your long-term implant goals from the very start. Placing an implant into compromised or thin bone leads to long-term failure. By utilizing advanced 3D diagnostics, we accurately assess bone volume and provide honest guidance on whether regenerative treatment is needed to give your implant the best chance of lasting.
Implants require a thick, dense wall of surrounding jawbone for permanent stability; a bone graft replaces lost volume to support the implant securely.
No. We complete the procedure under local anesthesia to ensure you remain completely comfortable, with manageable post-operative care.
Integration typically takes several months as your natural bone cells grow into and replace the grafting material.
Depending on your specific case, we use safe, certified donor bone, synthetic biocompatible substitutes, or autogenous bone.
