Dental Implants And Stem Cells

Restoring missing teeth with dental implants requires the patient to have a good and dense amount of bone for the implant to be held in place. Traditional and Mini implants are availble, but when a patient has had a large amount of bone loss they are limited in having a successful implant treatment. Now your own jaw bone can be regrown from your own stem cells taken from the bone marrow in your hip! A minimally invasive and relatively painless porcedure to harvest stem cells from the bone marrow can be transplanted into the jaw to create a dense bone structure where a dental implant later can be permanently set. Dental implants are the most natural solution to replacing a missing tooth providing long term resluts.
