Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) in Irvine, CA

Advanced Bone Regeneration for Dental Implants & Oral Surgery

For successful dental implant placement or jawbone reconstruction, adequate bone volume is essential. However, bone loss due to missing teeth, trauma, or disease can make traditional bone grafting necessary. Fortunately, advancements in oral surgery have introduced Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP), a groundbreaking regenerative treatment that stimulates natural bone growth without the need for donor bone grafts.

At Honest Oral Surgeon in Irvine, CA, Dr. Eric Kim and Dr. Blair Ota use BMP technology to help patients regrow bone naturally for dental implants, jawbone restoration, and reconstructive surgery.

What is Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)?

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are naturally occurring growth factors found in the body that stimulate bone formation. When applied to an area of bone loss or deficiency, BMP triggers the body’s stem cells to generate new bone, eliminating the need for traditional bone grafting in many cases.

How BMP Works

BMP is placed in the surgical site (such as a missing tooth socket or an area with bone loss).
It stimulates undifferentiated stem cells to develop into new bone-forming cells.
Over a few months, new, strong bone forms, creating a stable foundation for dental implants or other restorations.

When is BMP Used in Oral Surgery?

Bone Augmentation for Dental Implants

For patients with severe bone loss, BMP helps regenerate bone to provide enough volume and strength for implant placement.

Jawbone Reconstruction

For patients who have lost significant bone due to trauma, injury, or congenital defects, BMP helps rebuild the jawbone naturally.

Sinus Lift Surgery

Patients who need sinus lift surgery before implants in the upper jaw can benefit from BMP to regenerate bone in the sinus cavity.

Socket Preservation After Tooth Extractions

After tooth extraction, BMP can be placed in the socket to preserve bone volume, preventing bone shrinkage and making future implant placement easier.

Jawbone Support for Dentures

Patients needing implant-supported dentures or All-on-4® implants can benefit from BMP, ensuring long-term denture stability.

The BMP Procedure: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Consultation & Digital Imaging

A comprehensive oral exam and 3D imaging help determine if BMP is the right option.
A customized treatment plan is created for bone regeneration and implant placement.

Step 2: Placement of BMP in the Surgical Site

During surgery, BMP is applied directly to the deficient bone area.
In some cases, it is combined with bone grafting for enhanced results.

Step 3: Bone Regeneration & Healing

Over a few months, new bone begins to form, creating a strong foundation for implants or dentures.
Regular follow-up visits ensure proper healing and bone development.

Step 4: Implant Placement (If Needed)

Once sufficient bone volume is restored, dental implants can be safely placed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bone Morphogenetic Protein

What do Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) do?

BMPs stimulate natural bone growth by directing stem cells to form new bone tissue at the surgical site.

What is the function of BMP?

BMP helps in bone and cartilage formation, making it ideal for oral and maxillofacial reconstruction.

What are the side effects of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins?

Most patients tolerate BMP well, but possible side effects include:

Mild swelling or inflammation at the site.
Temporary discomfort as the new bone forms.
Rare allergic reactions (though uncommon).

What does BMP do in bone?

BMP initiates bone regeneration, providing a solid, natural foundation for dental implants and jaw reconstruction.
