Successful dental implant placement depends on having enough healthy bone to support the implant. When bone volume has reduced, guided bone regeneration can help rebuild the area and create a stable foundation for future treatment.
At the Centre for Advanced Dentistry & Implantology, guided bone regeneration is planned carefully to support predictable healing and long-term implant stability.
What is guided bone regeneration?
Guided bone regeneration is a procedure that encourages new bone to form in areas where bone loss has occurred. Specialised materials are placed at the affected site to support natural bone growth while protecting the healing area.
Over time, this process helps restore bone volume so that implants can be placed securely.
When might guided bone regeneration be recommended?
Guided bone regeneration may be recommended when tooth loss has resulted in reduced bone support. It may also be advised when the existing bone is not sufficient to stabilise an implant safely.
Digital imaging is used to assess bone levels and determine whether regeneration is required before implant placement.
What can you expect during treatment?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia. Bone-supporting material is placed in the affected area and covered to allow controlled healing.
Healing occurs gradually over several months. Once adequate bone has formed, implant placement can be planned with improved predictability.
FAQs
Local anaesthetic is used during the procedure. Mild tenderness during healing is common and usually manageable.
Bone regeneration typically takes several months before implant placement can proceed.
No. It is only recommended when existing bone support is insufficient.
