Bone Morphogenetic Protein in Westlake, TX
Grow new bone without harvesting it from elsewhere in your body. The body's own healing, put to work.
What Is Bone Morphogenetic Protein?
Bone Morphogenetic Protein, or BMP, is a naturally occurring protein that signals certain cells in the body to form new bone and cartilage. Used in surgery, it prompts your own body to grow the bone needed to support a dental implant.
Its biggest advantage is what it avoids. Traditional bone grafting sometimes means harvesting bone from another site, such as the hip. With BMP, that second surgical site is often unnecessary, because the protein stimulates new bone growth directly where it is placed. For the right patient, that can mean a smoother recovery and one less area to heal.
Your Body's Own Healing, Enhanced
BMP stimulates new bone where it is placed, so there is often no need to take bone from your hip or another site, and no second surgical area to heal.
The protein signals your own cells to form new bone, working with your body's biology rather than relying solely on grafted material.
With no donor site to heal, many patients experience a more comfortable recovery on the path to a strong implant foundation.
The BMP Process at Stone Dental Implant Center
1. Consultation & 3D Scan
A 3D scan and full evaluation show where bone is missing and whether BMP is the right approach for rebuilding your foundation.
2. Planning Your Treatment
Dr. Stone determines whether BMP, traditional grafting, or a combination best fits your case, and explains the reasoning clearly.
3. BMP Placement
The protein is placed at the site where new bone is needed, in a precise procedure under sedation matched to your comfort.
4. New Bone Growth
Over the following months, your body responds by forming new bone in the treated area, building toward a stable foundation.
5. Ready for Implants
Once the new bone has matured and strengthened, the site can support a lasting dental implant.
