Laying the groundwork for a long-lasting smile
Missing teeth cause the jawbone to weaken and shrink. A lack of bone can affect not only your dental health but also the way your face looks, how well you speak, and your ability to enjoy your favorite foods.
If you’re considering dental implants or if you want to improve the strength of your remaining teeth, one of the first steps is to ensure you have enough strong bone in your jaw to hold the implant securely.
At Sculpt Center for Implants & Periodontics, we offer specialized treatments required in preparation for successful dental implants. Our McLean VA guided bone regeneration is an advanced procedure that regenerates the bone necessary for a long-lasting implant.
At Sculpt Center for Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Hasan and our premier team are committed to helping you restore the health, function, and cosmetic elegance of your smile. Your comfort and long-term oral health are our #1 priority.
What is guided bone regeneration?
Socket/Site Preservation
This procedure is usually performed after tooth extraction. It helps protect the bone you already have, keeps your other teeth from shifting, and gets the area ready for a future dental implant if you need one.
Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation can be beneficial for those who have lost density in the jawbone. This procedure makes the jawbone wider and reshapes it, bringing back the natural contour of your gums.
Sinus Lift
When the upper jaw loses bone, the spaces near your sinuses might get a bit too close for comfort, affecting your facial structure and making it tricky to add dental implants. A sinus lift gently moves these sinuses back up, and then we add bone material to bulk up the upper jaw, making it ready for new teeth.
Benefits of guided bone regeneration
Bone regeneration can help transform your smile and improve your quality of life. This treatment works to:
- Provide the necessary support for dental implants
- Help preserve any remaining natural teeth
- Improve appearance
- Restore the structural integrity of the jaw and facial anatomy
We welcome the opportunity to discuss guided bone regeneration with you and answer any questions you may have.

Why would I need bone regeneration?
You might need bone regeneration if you’ve lost teeth and your jawbone has started to weaken or shrink because of it. This process helps create a solid foundation for dental implants, making your jaw strong enough to hold them securely.
