Gum disease, or periodontal disease affects 1 in 2 Americans, and can range from a small defect of bone loss to involving the entire mouth. You may have been told you are experiencing bone loss or could possibly even lose teeth. There are always solutions and sometimes grafting can be performed to regenerate lost bone around the teeth to stabilize and regain proper health for your dentition.
Regenerative dentistry provides us the opportunity to grow new bone and tissue where it has either been lost or never existed. Whether we are trying to save teeth, replace teeth, or enhance the overall esthetics of one's smile, grafting is the gold standard for restoring the foundation of your mouth!
With over a decade proudly serving the Roaring Fork Valley, thousands of implants placed with an over 93% success rate, Dr. Marcus Blue is a specialized and board certified dentist that focuses heavily on full mouth health and regeneration opportunities. Having completed dental school at the University of Missouri - Kansas City, he then went on to complete a 3-year surgery residency in Periodontics which heavily focused on oral reconstruction and esthetics. A published author in current periodontal journals, Dr. Blue has helped pioneer innovative and progressive techniques in bone regeneration, and lectures on biologics and specialized dental implants that most accurately mimic natural teeth
With todays current research and undeniable wealth of literature, periodontal health becomes one of complete necessity to your over-all well-being. Whether you are speaking of cardiovascular health, diabetic states, pregnancy, arthritis, or hormone replacement therapies (to name a few) ALL have a systemic impact that can and will affect your over-all health. Therefore, it becomes imperative to not view the body as individual systems, rather one body with many interconnected parts.
