Have you be told you can't have dental implants because you don't have enough bone?
If so, Dr. Shanaman can regrow bone, using your own cells, so you can have dental implants using Infuse® Bone Graft, also referred to as BMP-2, recently approved by the FDA.
Clinical trials have shown INFUSEŽ Bone Graft to be a safe, effective bone graft alternative, with the added benefit of eliminating additional surgery to harvest autogenous bone and may be an option for patients requiring certain oral and maxillofacial bone grafting procedures in preparation for dental implants.
Dr. Shanaman is one of the top dentists in the field of implant dentistry, pioneering many modern techinques used around the world. Below are actual cases of dental implants performed by Dr. Shanaman, including after and before images, to help you understand the processes involved in restoring your beautiful smile!
Should tooth replacement with implants be accomplished after significant bone loss, regeneration (bone graft) will be required. It may be possible to grow enough bone so placing and restoring implants can proceed as if bone had never been lost.
In the second set of pictures, observe the narrow lower ridge which was made wider using bone regeneration at the time of implant placement. This allowed for a natural-looking emergence of the implant crowns from the gum.

Also referred to as socket grafting or grafting of a buccal wall defect, is a common dental surgery that may be performed following the extraction of a tooth to help recreate the natural contour of the gums and jaw that may have been lost due to bone loss following, or as part of a tooth extraction.

Sinus augmentation, also referred to as a "sinus lift," is one of the most commonly performed bone grafting procedures for patients with bone loss in the upper jaw (maxilla). The goal of the procedure is to grow bone in the floor of the maxillary sinus above the alveolar ridge - the bony ridge of the gumline that anchors the teeth in the upper jaw.
