This procedure restores lost jaw tissue by introducing grafting material into a site where deterioration has occurred. Once placed, this material works alongside your body’s natural healing process to stimulate new bone cell production over time. Patients dealing with tooth loss, gum disease, or jaw trauma are often strong candidates for this type of care.
Dr. Joseph Field assesses every patient individually to identify which grafting method will deliver the best possible outcome for their oral health and long-term restoration goals.
The types Dr. Field offers vary depending on your clinical needs:
Bone sourced directly from the patient’s own body, providing strong biological compatibility and predictable results.
Carefully processed donor bone sourced from accredited tissue banks.
Bone material derived from animal sources, most commonly bovine, used as a scaffold for new bone development.
Synthetic materials developed in a laboratory setting to promote natural bone regeneration.
Every treatment follows a structured process designed to prioritize patient comfort and outcomes.
Dr. Joseph Field begins with a thorough oral examination and detailed imaging to assess your jaw condition. Together, you will review your options and define the best path forward.
Before the procedure begins, anesthesia is administered to keep you fully comfortable. Dr. Field takes time to walk through the plan and address any questions you may have.
The selected grafting material is carefully placed at the target site in your jaw. The membrane is gently repositioned before the material is introduced.
New bone gradually develops as your body integrates the grafting material over the following months. Most patients require 4 to 6 months of full integration before implant placement can begin.
Ongoing appointments with Dr. Field allow us to monitor healing and confirm that integration is progressing as expected.
