What is Bone Regeneration?

Bone regeneration is a surgical procedure used to restore lost jawbone, which can result from untreated periodontal disease or tooth loss. Bone loss compromises the stability of your jaw, potentially affecting the alignment of your remaining teeth and making procedures such as dental implants more difficult. Bone regeneration stimulates new bone growth to restore structure and stability, improving oral health and appearance. Explore the variety of periodontal services we offer to address gum disease and related conditions.

Bone loss can occur due to advanced gum disease, trauma, or after tooth extractions when replacement treatments like implants are delayed. Untreated bone loss can weaken the jaw, leading to misaligned teeth or further tooth loss. Bone regeneration addresses these issues by rebuilding the jawbone, providing a solid foundation for procedures such as tooth extractions or dental implants. At Rogue Periodontics, our goal is to preserve your oral health and ensure your smile remains strong and healthy.

The Bone Regeneration Process

During your initial consultation at our Medford office, Dr. Ferrin or Dr. Malloy will perform a comprehensive assessment, including diagnostic x-rays, to evaluate the extent of bone loss. Based on this evaluation, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

The bone regeneration procedure involves grafting bone material, sourced either from your own body, a donor, or synthetic options, into areas where bone loss has occurred. This graft promotes new bone growth, gradually strengthening the jaw. For patients needing additional treatments, procedures such as socket bone grafting or ridge augmentation may be recommended to further support bone regeneration and provide a stable foundation for future restorations.

After your bone regeneration procedure, it’s essential to follow the post-operative care instructions provided by our team. You can expect some temporary swelling and discomfort, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. We will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure the success of the procedure.

For many patients, bone regeneration is a necessary step before receiving dental implants. By restoring the bone structure, we create the foundation required for successful implant placement, resulting in a long-lasting and functional restoration. In some cases, additional procedures like sinus augmentation may be needed for patients experiencing upper jawbone loss.

At Rogue Periodontics, we are dedicated to providing personalized care for every patient. Dr. Ferrin and Dr. Malloy work closely with your general dentist to ensure that your treatment plan is comprehensive and designed to meet your unique oral health needs. Whether you're addressing bone loss from periodontal disease or preparing for a dental restoration, our team is committed to delivering the highest quality care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
