Bone Regeneration & Ridge Augmentation
At Potomac Perio-Implant Aesthetics Center, we specialize in advanced regenerative procedures that restore lost bone and support long-term implant success and natural aesthetics.
What Is Bone Regeneration?
Bone regeneration refers to the process of rebuilding bone in areas where it has been lost due to tooth loss, periodontal disease, trauma, or infection. Using biocompatible materials—such as bone grafts and growth factors—we encourage the body to naturally regenerate bone.
This procedure is often performed:
Around failing teeth to preserve bone
At extraction sites to prepare for future implants
Around implants to treat or prevent peri-implant bone loss

What Is Ridge Augmentation?
Ridge augmentation is a specific type of bone regeneration aimed at rebuilding the natural contours of the jawbone (the alveolar ridge). It is commonly needed when bone volume has significantly decreased and may no longer support dental implants or maintain facial aesthetics.
There are two main types:
- Horizontal Augmentation: Increases bone width
- Vertical Augmentation: Increases bone height
Often, a combination of both is used for optimal implant placement and soft tissue support.

Our Approach to Regenerative Care
At Potomac Perio-Implant Aesthetics Center, we use cutting-edge materials and techniques—including:
- Autogenous or donor bone grafts
- Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) for healing
- Resorbable and non-resorbable membranes
- Microsurgical methods for minimal trauma and maximum precision
Each treatment is personalized, biologically driven, and focused on both functional strength and aesthetic harmony.
FAQ's
What is bone regeneration in dentistry?
It’s a surgical procedure that rebuilds lost jawbone for better oral health and implant support.
When is bone regeneration needed?
It’s required for patients with bone loss due to gum disease or missing teeth.
How is bone regeneration done?
Bone grafting materials are placed in deficient areas to stimulate new bone growth.
How long does it take for bone regeneration to heal?
Full healing may take 4–9 months before additional procedures.
