Guided bone regeneration is a dental procedure designed to restore lost bone tissue in the jaw. At DMD Dental, we take a minimally invasive and regenerative approach to dentistry, preserving and rebuilding natural bone to support long-term oral health.
What is Guided Bone Regeneration?
Guided bone regeneration is a process of encouraging the regrowth of lost bone tissue in the jaw using advanced techniques and materials. It utilizes biocompatible membranes and sometimes bone grafting materials to guide the regeneration of bone, ensuring your jaw can properly support teeth and dental implants.
What are the Benefits of Guided Bone Regeneration?
Bone loss can result from periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss, leading to compromised oral health and function. Guided bone regeneration helps to:
- Restore lost bone tissue.
- Provide a stable foundation for dental implants or prosthetics.
- Improve overall oral health and function.
This technique helps to prevent further bone deterioration and can reduce the need for more extensive procedures in the future.
What Can I Expect From Guided Bone Regeneration?
The oral surgeon will make an incision in the gums to access the affected area. A biocompatible membrane is then placed over the site of bone loss to protect it and guide bone growth. Bone graft materials or platelet-rich fibrin may also be incorporated to enhance regeneration. The membrane prevents gum tissue from encroaching on the area, allowing the bone to regenerate fully over time.
Healing typically takes several months, during which the body gradually forms new bone tissue. Regular follow-ups will ensure the process is progressing as planned.
The Guided Bone Regeneration Process and Beyond
Maintaining good oral hygiene during the healing period is crucial to prevent infection and ensure optimal results. Once the surgical site has healed, it’s essential to brush twice daily and floss regularly. Dr. Du Mond will monitor your progress and provide guidance to support your recovery.

Truly Life-Changing!
Looking for a new dental office since my previous dentist moved to Hawaii, and I came across an ad for DMD Dental as a new office to the area. I figured I would check them out and I’m happy I did. Booking an appointment was super easy, and they got me in quickly to see Dr. Du Mond for a cleaning. She was fantastic; so helpful, patient, and really took the time to listen to my concerns about a crown I’ve been putting off for a while. The entire staff was incredibly nice and helpful, making the visit smooth and comfortable. I’m thrilled to say I’ve just found my new dentist!! Highly recommend checking them out.
Exceeded My Expectations!
I had the best experience at DMD Dental! I went in for red light therapy and trigger point injections for my TMJ. Dr. Du Mond carefully examined my jaw, temples and back to source all of the tension related to my jaw clenching. The injections really helped! After my treatment, I relaxed in the red light therapy bed for a 10 minute session. I received so many compliments on my skin in the days following. I will definitely be back!
Beyond Impressed!
Dr. Erika and her office staff provided an outstanding experience during my dental visit. The team was warm, professional, and attentive from the moment I walked in. Dr. Erika’s expertise and attention to detail were impressive, and I felt completely at ease throughout the appointment. I’m extremely happy with the treatment I received and would confidently recommend DMD Dental to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.
