REGENERATIVE DENTISTRY IN CHAPEL HILL, NC

Regenerative Dentistry in Chapel Hill Near Raleigh, Durham and Greensboro, NC

Our approach to regenerative dentistry in Chapel Hill near Raleigh, Durham, and Greensboro, merges various chemical, biological, and physical engineering aspects to enhance and restore oral health. It also assists in cushioning any dental discomfort during recovery by increasing your body’s natural generative cells and processes.

Our holistic regenerative dentists in Chapel Hill, Dr. Ralph Mensah and Dr. Micahel Thomas use regenerative dentistry procedures to renew or replace damaged gingival tissue, bones, and teeth with autologous stem cells.

We currently use two different regenerative dentistry modalities in our Chapel Hill dental office. These modalities include Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and carbon dioxide laser therapy. 

HOW PLATELET-RICH FIBRIN (PRF) WORKS IN REGENERATIVE DENTISTRY

Fibrin contains the same properties as human blood, aiding tissue regeneration and growth. Using a technique like PRF reduces the infection rate significantly, sometimes up to tenfold. In simple terms, PRF accelerates wound healing.

PRF can be game-changing for the dentist and the patient during a molar extraction or implant placement. The PRF process is simple, and with a dental team like ours, you'll always be kept informed.

Our rejuvenation dentist will begin by drawing some of your blood the day before the treatment. They do this for the same reason your doctor does: to analyze your blood work. The platelet-rich fibrin layer will then be isolated by spinning the blood in a centrifuge. This allows your rejuvenation dentist to extract and utilize that layer during a dental procedure.

Patients frequently wonder how long it will take to recover from traditional dental surgery. With our holistic and biological dental procedures in Chapel Hill, you can reduce the time it takes to recover from dental surgery.

ADVANTAGES OF PRF WITH A HOLISTIC BIOLOGICAL DENTIST

There are many advantages to using platelet-rich fibrin for dental procedures, such as:

  • Faster Healing

  • Less Pain

  • Decreased Swelling

  • Accelerated Healing In The Bones After A Dental Implant Procedure

  • Improved Strength During Bone Integration With Dental Implants

  • Decreased Chance Of Dry Socket

  • Improved Natural Bone Grafting Success

  • Increased Blood Supply To The Socket In A Tooth Extraction 

HOW OUR CHAPEL HILL DENTIST USES DIOXIDE LASER THERAPY

Since the 1960s, carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers have been used in dentistry. This laser is only useful for soft-tissue procedures such as disinfection, blood coagulation, and denervation. It operates at wavelengths ranging from 810 nm to 1064 nm.

Our Chapel Hill dental office uses the Deka Carbon Dioxide Laser to make holistic dental treatments much easier and faster.

ADVANTAGES OF USING A CO2 LASER

There are a variety of advantages that patients receive with procedures that use a CO2 laser. These advantages include:

  • Faster healing

  • Less pain

  • Decreased swelling

  • Antiseptic

PROCEDURES THAT BENEFIT FROM CO2 LASER THERAPY

CO2 laser therapy, like carbon dioxide laser therapy, should only be used for specific procedures. These procedures are as follows:

  • Soft-tissue surgeries

  • Periodontal decontamination

  • Implant uncovering
