We will help you look and feel
better by sharing our knowledge
about current procedures in
implant and cosmetic dentistry.
We will work with you and your
dentist to help you make an
informed decision about the form
of treatment to restore your oral
health, and discuss the ways to
care for your teeth.
In the past, the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease was considered
to be painful and disfiguring. For many years, the best way to achieve
the ultimate goal of therapy (shallow, maintainable pockets) was to do
resective surgical procedures that often resulted in the exposure of
sensitive root surfaces and the appearance of "long" teeth.
Today, periodontists are often able to restore or regenerate missing bone
and attachment around teeth subjected to long-standing periodontal
disease. In addition, if you have lost a tooth due to trauma or disease, we
can restore or regenerate bone prior to the placement of bridges or
implants.
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) refers to procedures that attempt to
regenerate lost periodontal structures (bone, periodontal ligament, and
connective tissue attachment) that support our teeth. This is
accomplished using biocompatible membranes, often in combination with
bone grafts and/or tissue stimulating proteins.
Guided Bone Regeneration / GBR (Ridge Augmentation & Jaw
Reconstruction) refers to procedures that attempt to regenerate bone
prior to the placement of bridges or, more commonly, implants. This is
accomplished using bone grafts and biocompatible membranes that keep
out tissue and allow the bone to grow.
Our office offers emergency
service when you need it. For
non-emergencies, we provide
flexible hours by appointment. To
ensure timely service, we request
48-hour notice if you cannot keep
your appointment.

d Tissue Regeneration / GTR (regeneration to help increase the life of teeth)
Correction of bone defects (around teeth)
The procedure consists of filling up the defect or cavity in the bone with a biocompatible material providing a
protected environment for regeneration.
Note the bony defect around the premolar and
the molar teeth
The regenerative material is placed into the
defect to help promote regeneration
With proper oral hygiene and appropriate
periodontal maintenance visits regeneration can
be observed

the product. The rhPDGF-BB provides the
biological stimulus for tissue repair by stimulating
the proliferation and in-growth of osteoblasts, cells
responsible for the formation of bone, while the βTCP provides the framework or scaffold for new
bone growth to occur.
INFUSE® Bone Graft can be used in two dental bone grafting procedures: sinus augmentation and
localized alveolar ridge augmentation. INFUSE® Bone Graft offers you and your surgeon a safe and
effective bone grafting alternative.
