GUIDED BONE REGENERATION PROCEDURES
Dental implants should be placed in an ideal position for proper function (chewing) and cosmetics (smile). Occasionally the patient may require a guided bone regeneration procedure to increase the amount of alveolar bone available for proper placement of a dental implant. Bone grafting and use of a resorbable (or non-resorbable) membrane is used to stimulate the patient's osteoblasts (bone producing cells) to develop additional alveolar bone mass. This procedure is done about 6 months prior to placement of dental implants, however, it can be done in conjunction with dental implant placement surgery.
