An Overview of Bone Treatments
What are bone treatments?
When losing your teeth, you also lose the bone structure that naturally supports them. This causes functional as well as aesthetic problems within your mouth and other facial structures. The risk or possibility of bone deterioration may be the motivation that drives you to confront tooth loss and take steps to resolve it. Board Certified periodontist, Dr Donald Steinberg is a leader in utilizing techniques and products to help restore those supporting structures (bone and tissue) to your mouth.
Bone treatment is about understanding how and when to utilize an array of numerous products. Our goal for bone treatment is to help the body build back some of what has been lost. The key is knowing the science, research, and techniques to help the body help itself. Dr. Steinberg, a board-certified periodontist, is known for his use and depth of knowledge in grafting techniques for optimal outcomes. He often uses several products and techniques available to increase the predictability for each patient. Those procedures and techniques he employs range from bone grafting products - bone modifiers, allograph, xenografts, guided tissue regeneration, platelet rich growth factors and membranes. Dr Steinberg and his staff stay on the cutting edge because your long-term outcome is their primary concern.
