Bone Preservation Techniques | Batavia

Safeguarding Your Smile’s Foundation

A few months ago, Lisa came to my Batavia office devastated after being told elsewhere she wasn’t a candidate for dental implants due to significant bone loss following multiple extractions years ago. After examining her case with our advanced imaging technology, I was able to develop a bone preservation plan that would eventually make implants possible for her. This is why I’m so passionate about bone preservation techniques – they open doors that might otherwise remain closed. At Marco V. Colella, DMD, PLLC, we understand that healthy jawbone structure is the foundation for both your natural teeth and any future restorative work. Drawing on my 12 years of dental experience serving the Batavia community, I’ve implemented cutting-edge bone preservation protocols that help maintain your oral health options for years to come.

Proactive Protection for Long-term Dental Health

Bone preservation techniques are specialized procedures designed to maintain or rebuild jawbone density following tooth loss or extraction. When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone typically begins to recede – up to 25% of width lost within the first year if no preservation measures are taken. We employ socket preservation immediately after extraction, placing bone grafting material directly into the socket to maintain its dimension and encourage new bone formation. Using growth factors and bioactive materials, we create an optimal environment for your body’s natural healing processes to rebuild bone structure. These procedures are often completed during the same appointment as your extraction, minimizing additional recovery time. For patients planning future implants, these techniques create the solid foundation necessary for successful implant placement and long-term stability.

Advanced Regenerative Approaches for Complex Cases

What sets our bone preservation services apart is our integration of multiple advanced techniques tailored to each patient’s unique situation. For those with existing bone loss, we offer guided bone regeneration procedures that use specialized membranes to direct new bone growth in specific areas where it’s most needed. Our practice utilizes Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatments derived from a small sample of your own blood to accelerate healing and enhance regenerative outcomes. The PRF contains growth factors that stimulate bone and soft tissue development when applied to the treatment area. Using our dental cone beam CT technology, we can precisely evaluate bone dimensions and quality before planning preservation strategies, ensuring targeted treatment with predictable results. These approaches don’t just prepare you for implants – they help maintain facial structure and prevent the aged appearance that often accompanies bone loss, benefiting your overall facial aesthetics.
