In selective cases, the damage of the teeth-supporting bone can be reversed by a Bone Regeneration Procedure. Please consult with Dr. Aran to find out if you are a candidate of the procedure.

​Bone grafting is a fairly simple procedure which may be performed under local anesthetic. Initially, the grafting material needs to either be harvested or prepared for insertion. A small incision is made in the gum tissue and then gently separated from the bone. The bone grafting material is then placed at the affected site. The bone regeneration process may be aided by a thin barrier (membrane) being placed below the gum line over the grafting material. This barrier creates enough space for healthy tissue to grow and separates the faster growing gum tissue from the slower growing fibers. This means that bone cells can migrate to the protected area and grow naturally.
