Autogenous bone grafting at Perfect Smile Dental in Tijuana, Mexico, helps rebuild bone for dental implant support. Dr. Omar Espinosa has training in advanced bone grafting, sinus grafts, split crest grafting, and the Khoury technique.
How bone grafting works
The dentist folds back the gum tissue and cleans infected tissue and bacteria-laden buildup. Bone graft material is then placed to support new bone formation. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) may be combined with the graft to promote regeneration and help shorten healing time.
Dr. Espinosa is an oral rehabilitation specialist and advanced implant surgeon. He completed an Oral Implantology Fellowship at California Implant Institute and the University of Las Vegas. He is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, Academy of Osseointegration, and Academy of General Dentistry.
Planning and preparation
Before surgery, the clinic uses imaging and tests to assess the bone and plan treatment. The listed pre-surgical checks include:
- 3D CT scan and digital panoramic X-ray
- Full set of digital X-rays
- Digital face scan and intraoral scan
- Pre-surgical blood test
Perfect Smile Dental has an in-house digital laboratory and follows standards from the ADA, OSHA, and CDC. A 2cc bone graft is included in its full-arch All-on-X and zygomatic protocols; this inclusion does not describe every grafting case.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss whether bone grafting fits their implant plan.
