Guided Bone Regeneration
Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) with Biological Protocol for Ceramic Implant Placement
At Virginia Biological Dentistry, Dr. Olivia Hart specializes in guided bone regeneration (GBR), using an advanced biological protocol to regenerate bone and prepare the jawbone for future ceramic implant placement. GBR is a cutting-edge technique designed to restore bone volume and density in areas where bone has been lost, ensuring a strong, healthy foundation for your future ceramic implant.
What is Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR)?
Guided bone regeneration is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that encourages your body’s natural ability to rebuild bone. This method is often necessary when bone loss has occurred due to tooth extraction, trauma, gum disease, or prolonged missing teeth. By regenerating lost bone, GBR creates the optimal conditions for placing ceramic implants, a biocompatible and holistic alternative to traditional titanium implants.
What is Dr. Hart’s GBR Process That Utilizes Her Biological Protocol?
Dr. Hart integrates state-of-the-art biological dentistry principles into every step of the GBR process. Her focus is on promoting healing while minimizing risks to ensure long-term success.
What components are included in Dr. Hart’s GBR protocol?
- Laser Therapy: The surgical site is sanitized using advanced laser technology to eliminate harmful bacteria and reduce inflammation, fostering an optimal healing environment.
- Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): Dr. Hart applies PRF, derived from your blood, to stimulate tissue regeneration, enhance healing, and reduce recovery time.
- Bone Grafting Materials: Only high-quality bone grafting materials are used to ensure safety and compatibility with your body.
- Protective Membrane: A specialized, non-toxic membrane is placed over the graft to guide bone growth and protect it during healing.
What are the advantages of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) at Virginia Biological Dentistry?
- Natural Bone Regeneration: GBR stimulates your body’s regenerative capabilities.
- Enhanced Implant Success: Regenerated bone provides a stable foundation for ceramic implants, ensuring durability and functionality.
- Holistic Care: Biological protocol prioritizes your overall health, reducing the risk of complications and promoting faster healing.
- Minimally Invasive: Dr. Hart employs techniques that minimize discomfort and accelerate recovery.
What are Dr. Hart’s steps for successful guided bone regeneration (GBR)?
- Evaluation: Dr. Hart conducts a comprehensive examination, including advanced CBCT imaging, to assess your bone structure and determine the need for GBR.
- Preparation: After removing failed implants or extracting the compromised or infected tooth, the surgical site is thoroughly cleaned and prepared using laser technology for optimal outcomes.
- Bone Grafting: High-quality bone graft material is placed in the area of bone deficiency.
- Guided Healing: A protective membrane and PRF are applied to stimulate and protect the growth of new bone.
- Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and readiness for ceramic implant placement.
Why Choose GBR for Future Ceramic Implants?
Ceramic implants are a natural, metal-free solution that integrates seamlessly with your bone and soft tissues. They are hypoallergenic, aesthetically pleasing, and align with Dr. Hart’s holistic approach to dentistry. By combining GBR with ceramic implants, Dr. Hart provides a long-lasting, biocompatible solution that restores both function and beauty to your smile.
