What Is Bone Morphogenetic Protein?
Bone loss in the jaw, which can occur due to missing teeth, gum disease, or injuries, may affect your ability to get dental implants. At Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery, we use advanced techniques to rebuild the jawbone, enhancing both the function and appearance of your mouth while providing a solid foundation for dental implants. One technique we utilize is bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), which encourages your body to naturally grow new bone. BMP, a protein found in the body, can also be synthesized in a lab to activate bone-building cells in the jaw. This method can be applied to procedures such as sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, and tooth extractions, helping regenerate bone for improved implant success. If you're in need of a tooth extraction, dental implants, or a bone graft, contact one of our Hoover, Alabaster, Jasper, or Clanton, AL locations to learn more about how BMP can benefit your treatment.
How Is Bone Morphogenetic Protein Used in Dentistry?
BMP is frequently used during jaw reconstruction and bone grafting procedures to enhance outcomes and provide the necessary support for dental implants. During your consultation, we will review the different BMP options available and determine the best choice for your specific needs. Advanced imaging tools may be used to plan your procedure and identify the ideal areas in your jaw for BMP application.
Before the procedure begins, we will carefully explain each step and ensure you are comfortable. The treatment area will be numbed with a local anesthetic, and sedation options will be provided if you feel nervous or anxious. The BMP solution is applied to a specialized sponge that dissolves within your bone, which is then placed in the treatment area. To protect the site and preserve space for new bone growth, the sponge is covered with biocompatible titanium mesh. After the gums are sutured, the healing process begins, allowing your body to regenerate bone and create a solid foundation for your dental implants.
What Are the Benefits of Bone Morphogenetic Protein?
BMP provides several benefits for patients undergoing jawbone reconstruction and dental implant procedures:
- Stimulates natural bone growth for better jawbone health
- Eliminates the need for bone harvesting from other body areas
- Speeds up recovery time and promotes faster healing
- Establishes a solid foundation for dental implants
- Enhances overall treatment results with fewer complications
