Bone and gum regeneration treatments rebuild the foundation that supports your teeth and smile. Over time, conditions like periodontal disease, tooth loss, or trauma can cause bone and gum tissue to deteriorate, making your teeth less stable or leaving insufficient support for dental implants.
Dr. Shaun Whitney is proud to offer advanced regenerative procedures in Coeur d’Alene, ID, utilizing cutting-edge biologic techniques to help your body naturally rebuild what has been lost. The result is a stronger, healthier mouth with the structural support your smile needs for years to come.
Healthy bone and gum tissue are the framework that keeps your entire smile strong. Regeneration techniques in Coeur d’Alene, ID, restore that foundation, improving both function and aesthetics.
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) uses a specialized barrier membrane to direct the growth of new bone and gum tissue. The membrane keeps unwanted soft tissue from growing into the area, giving bone cells the space and time they need to regenerate.
This process helps rebuild healthy support structures around your teeth or implants. Over time, GTR can dramatically improve both the strength and appearance of your gums and bone.
Bone grafting in Coeur d’Alene, ID, restores the standard shape, size, and strength of your jawbone in areas where it has been damaged. During the procedure, we’ll carefully place natural or synthetic graft material where it is needed to stimulate your body’s natural bone regeneration process.
As healing progresses, the graft is replaced by your own healthy bone, creating a solid foundation for natural teeth or implants. Bone grafting is one of the most common and effective methods for strengthening and rebuilding the jaw.
A gum graft replaces missing or receding gum tissue to restore a healthy, protective gumline. We perform this procedure by harvesting tissue from another area of your own mouth or a donor source, as needed, and placing it where it is required. Gum grafting in Coeur d’Alene, ID, not only improves the appearance of your smile but also helps prevent further recession and sensitivity.
Growth factors and biologics represent some of the most advanced techniques in regenerative dentistry. These natural healing materials are derived from your own body to speed recovery and promote new bone and tissue growth.
When combined with grafting procedures, they significantly improve healing times and treatment outcomes. By harnessing your body’s natural biology, we can help you heal faster, stronger, and more comfortably.
