Gum Disease, Bone Loss & Missing Tooth? Here’s What We Did

🦷 Saving Smiles with Laser Gum Surgery, Bone Graft & Implant — A Patient’s Journey at SmileSparks

At SmileSparks Dental Studio, Kilpauk, we believe every smile deserves a second chance — no matter how damaged it may seem. Recently, we helped a patient who had gum problems, bone loss, and a missing tooth.

With the help of advanced laser technology, bone grafting, and a strong dental implant, we gave them a healthy, confident smile again.

Let’s walk you through how we did it — in simple words!

👩‍⚕️ The Problem

Our patient came in with:

• A loose back tooth because of gum infection

• Bone loss in the jaw (the area where the tooth was weak)

• A missing tooth next to it that made chewing and smiling difficult

They were worried and thought they might lose more teeth soon. But we assured them that it wasn’t too late — we had a plan!

✨ Step 1: Cleaning with Laser — Gentle & Painless

We started with a laser-assisted flap surgery. Sounds technical, but here’s what it really means:

Instead of using blades, we used a soft dental laser to gently open the gums and clean the infected area around the tooth.

✅ No cuts or stitches

✅ Very little bleeding

✅ Faster healing

✅ Less pain

The laser also helped kill bacteria and promote healing naturally.

🦴 Step 2: Bone Grafting — Building the Foundation

Since the infection had eaten away some of the jawbone, we had to regrow the lost bone using a bone graft.

What we did:

• Placed a special bone-like material in the area

• Covered it with a membrane so it could heal safely and grow

• Let it rest and become strong again over the next few months

This new bone gave us a strong base to place a dental implant later.

⚙️ Step 3: Placing the Dental Implant — Like a New Tooth Root!

After the bone was ready, we placed a high-quality titanium dental implant. Think of it like a new tooth root — strong and long-lasting.

We used 3D digital scans to place it in the perfect position — safely and painlessly. After the implant bonded with the jawbone, we attached a natural-looking crown on top.

Now, it looks, feels, and works just like a real tooth!

😄 The Result?

✅ Infection gone

✅ Bone restored

✅ Strong implant placed

✅ A happy, healthy smile!

Our patient can now eat better, smile wider, and live more confidently — all thanks to the step-by-step care they received at SmileSparks.
