Make Your Smile Ready for Dental Implants with Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) in Greensboro, NC
Tooth loss takes more than just the visible tooth. Over time, it can take the bone underneath, too. If you have been told you don’t have enough jawbone for dental implants, guided bone regeneration (GBR) in Greensboro, North Carolina, may be what you need.
At Travis A Bell DDS PLLC, Dr. Travis A. Bell, Dr. Janna C. Matko, and Dr. Margaret Szott use this procedure to rebuild and strengthen your jawbone, helping you become eligible for dental implants. Don’t let bone loss limit the possibilities for your smile. Visit our office today and see what is possible with advanced GBR services.
What is Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR)?
When you lose a tooth, the bone in that area can shrink, leaving too little support for an implant. Guided bone regeneration is a method dentists use to replenish lost bone tissue in a controlled way. The dentist positions the graft material in the area where bone is missing, and then places a thin membrane to guide healing.
This specialized membrane stimulates new bone cells to grow, while protecting the graft site from gum tissue that may grow too fast and fill the area. GBR supports steadier bone formation and creates a stable, natural foundation strong enough to support an implant.
Why does my dentist recommend GBR before dental implants?
Dental implants require adequate bone density to integrate and form a solid foundation for the replacement teeth. If placed in a thin, depleted jawbone, dental implants will be poorly positioned or fail to fuse with the jawbone.
Your Greensboro dentist recommends GBR first to rebuild the site, providing implants with a solid foundation to fuse with and remain stable over the long run. For many patients, this extra step comes with an extra cost and prolonged healing, but it ensures stable, long-lasting results rather than making do with whatever bone is left.
