Rebuilding Lost Jawbone Architecture to Provide a Solid Foundation for Lifelong Dental Implants
When natural teeth are lost or extracted, the surrounding alveolar jawbone no longer receives functional chewing stimulation. Within the first year following tooth loss, the jawbone naturally shrinks and resorbs by up to 25% to 50% in width, creating a hollowed ridge that cannot safely support a dental implant.
At Main Line Dental Arts, our board-certified periodontists specialize in advanced bone grafting and guided bone regeneration (GBR). Using biocompatible mineralized bone particulate, barrier collagen membranes, and concentrated Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) from your own blood, we create a biological scaffold that encourages your body to regenerate genuine, dense living bone.
Whether you need socket preservation at the time of an extraction, ridge expansion, or extensive vertical bone grafting, our team ensures a predictable, comfortable surgical outcome.
You may benefit from this treatment if you experience any of the following:
We analyze cross-sectional 3D images of your jaw to quantify bone height, width, and density in millimeters, selecting the optimal grafting biomaterials.
Under gentle local anesthesia, the bone defect is decontaminated, and mineralized bone particulate is packed carefully into the deficient site.
An autologous Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) membrane rich in growth factors and a resorbable collagen barrier are placed over the graft to guide bone regeneration.
Over the following 3 to 6 months, your body gradually replaces the graft material with strong, vascularized native bone, ready for lifetime dental implant placement.
Transforms thin, deficient bone into a solid foundation capable of supporting permanent teeth.
Preserves natural jawbone contours, preventing the sunken appearance associated with tooth loss.
Autologous growth factors speed up new vascularization and reduce postoperative swelling.
Decades of clinical research make guided bone regeneration one of dentistry's most predictable procedures.
Practical instructions to ensure an anxiety-free visit and smooth, rapid healing.
What to expect from your initial specialist consultation through complete recovery.
Careful clinical examination, diagnostic imaging, and personalized treatment sequencing.
Minimally invasive microsurgical procedure with gentle local anesthesia and sedation support.
Structured recovery protocol, proactive post-op care calls, and dietary guidance.
Follow-up confirmation and ongoing preventative care coordinated with your primary dentist.
Periodontists undergo 3 additional years of accredited university surgical residency beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on jawbone biology, tissue regeneration, and micro-precision implant placement. We partner closely with your family dentist to deliver lasting clinical excellence.
Our board-certified periodontists, Dr. Borguet, Dr. Hodgson, and Dr. Susanin, are here to help restore your oral health with compassionate, personalized care.
