Restore the Jawbone for Implant Success
Bone loss in the jaw is caused by factors that include missing teeth, gum disease, medication-induced osteonecrosis and trauma. The condition leaves behind a host of oral concerns that affect facial appearance, oral function and the long-term success of dental implants. In the past, patients with moderate to advanced bone loss were not likely candidates for receiving dental implants due to the lack of bone available to properly support the implant post. With a bone grafting procedure, however, Dr. Robert Faiella can rebuild lost bone tissue to adequate height and volume. As a periodontal and implant expert, he brings advanced expertise to helping patients with extensive bone loss and missing teeth fully restore their health, wellness and smile esthetics with advanced techniques for bone grafting in Duxbury and Osterville, MA.
Advancing Bone Health Through Technology
Advanced technology plays a significant role in how Dr. Faiella rebuilds lost bone in the jaw. PIEZOSURGERY® is a minimally invasive technique that he uses when preparing bone tissue to receive bone grafts. To deliver the best possible bone grafting results, Dr. Faiella incorporates tissue regeneration techniques known as Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) and Blood Morphogenic Protein (BMP). PRGF and BMP both help expedite healing and encourage the body to regrow bone and gum tissue in bone grafting areas. Using these non-invasive factors minimizes oral complications and promotes bone grafting success.
Benefits of Bone Grafting
- Enables dental implant placement
- Restores gum, jaw and facial contours
- Improves biting function
- Prevents shifting of teeth
Precision Bone Grafting Procedures
Bone grafting is the process of adding a patient’s own bone tissue, or tissue harvested from another biocompatible source, directly to areas of bone loss in the jaw. Using precision technique, Dr. Faiella performs sinus lift and ridge augmentation bone grafting procedures, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. A sinus lift enables dental implant placement in the upper molar and premolar regions by gently elevating the maxillary sinus cavity and fortifying bone tissue in these areas. Ridge augmentation replenishes bone tissue in the upper or lower arches, restoring jaw contous and reversing indentations left by bone loss. Dr. Faiella also uses bone grafting to treat patients experiencing osteonecrosis, a serious oral condition causing rapid loss of bone in the jaw.
Comprehensive Implant and Bone Grafting Surgery
Dr. Faiella has received extensive training and knowledge of conditions affecting the jaw and in restoring jawbone health. As a Fellow of the Academy of Osseointegration and International Team for Implantology, he maintains a profound understanding of the relationship between dental implants and the supporting jawbone. Dr. Faiella is well-versed in all phases of implant surgery, and pleased to offer comprehensive bone grafting and implant care from both our Osterville and Duxbury practice locations.
