Healthy Gums Require Healthy Bone

Bone is the major supporting structure for the oral tissues, lips, cheeks, and face. Healthy correctly contoured bone is, therefore, essential for an attractive appearance. Following injury, if teeth are injured or lost, damage to the bone supporting the teeth may also occur. After such trauma extensive bone remodelling or bone surgery and regeneration may be required as part of the dental reconstruction necessary to return to a healthy and attractive smile along with normal function.

What Is Bone Surgery?

Occasionally the overall treatment of gum disease requires bone recontouring. Although the vast majority of gum disease therapy should be non-surgical.

It is now possible to encourage the body to regenerate lost bone using various grafting techniques. This is an area of surgery in which Dr Saltmiras has a particular interest and considerable training and experience.

Infection and inflammation in the jaws will also destroy bone. Once the infection or inflammation has been eliminated, it may be necessary for the support of the remaining teeth or implants to regenerate the lost bone, recreating the original shape of the jaw bone and thereby restoring health, form, and function.
