Gum Grafting & Bone Regeneration in Upland, CA
Rebuild Lost Gum Tissue and Bone to Protect Your Smile
Gum recession and bone loss can leave teeth vulnerable to sensitivity, instability, and eventual tooth loss. At Empower Dental Upland, our gum grafting and bone regeneration procedures are designed to rebuild the supporting structures around your teeth and create a healthier, stronger foundation for long-term oral health.
Restore the Foundation of Your Smile
Healthy gums and bone are essential for protecting your teeth and supporting future restorative treatments, including dental implants.
What Is Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting replaces tissue lost through gum recession.
Benefits include:
- Reduced tooth sensitivity
- Protection against root decay
- Improved gum symmetry
- Prevention of additional recession
- Better long-term tooth support
Bone Regeneration
When periodontal disease destroys supporting bone, regenerative procedures can encourage your body to rebuild lost bone.
Treatment may include:
- Bone grafting materials
- Guided tissue regeneration
- Regenerative membranes
- Biologic growth factors when appropriate
Bone regeneration can improve tooth stability and prepare the jaw for future implant placement.
