Bone Grafting Regeneration

Rebuilding from the Foundation Up

Bone and gum tissue should fit snugly around teeth like a turtleneck around your neck. When a Roseville, Sacramento or Auburn dental patient has periodontal disease, this supporting tissue and bone are destroyed and deeper pockets develop. Eventually, when too much bone is lost, it can lead to tooth loss.

Based on the extent of our client's gum disease, and the amount of bone that is lost around teeth, our doctors may recommend a regenerative procedure. These procedures can reverse some of the damage by regenerating some or most of the lost bone and tissue.

A healthy foundation is necessary so first the area is accessed and the doctor will remove any disease-causing bacteria or necrotic tissues. Stimulating proteins in the form of membranes can be used to encourage your body's natural ability to regenerate bone and tissue, re-establishing a strong and healthy supporting structure for your teeth.

There are many options to enhance support for teeth and to restore bone to a healthy level. During a consultation, our Roseville dentists will discuss the various options and the best solution to cure any periodontal disease which is present, this may include bone graft and guided tissue regeneration.
