Stem Cells & Regenerative Dentistry
Teeth exhibit limited repair in response to damage, but stem cells are changing that. Regenerative dentistry stimulates the body to regrow vital structures instead of removing them and replacing with foreign materials.

From Removal to Regeneration
Present dentistry involves removal of tissues and structures. Most dental restorative replacement materials are toxic to some degree. But a new paradigm is emerging, one where we can replace or regenerate oral structures with biologic materials that stimulate the body to regrow missing structures or tissues.
Stem cells play an important role in this transformation. Teeth exhibit limited repair in response to damage, but stem cells could help regenerate vital structures like bone, cartilage, cementum, periodontal ligament fibers, and dental pulp.
Instead of removing tissue and replacing it with foreign material, regenerative dentistry helps the body rebuild what was lost, naturally.
What Can Be Regenerated
Stem cells and biologic materials can help the body regrow vital oral structures.
Bone
Regrow vertical bone lost to periodontal disease or extraction, supporting implant placement and structural integrity.
Cartilage
Support regeneration of cartilaginous structures in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Cementum
Regenerate the calcified tissue covering the tooth root, essential for periodontal reattachment.
Periodontal Ligament
Restore the fibers that anchor the tooth to the jaw, the foundation of natural tooth stability.
Dental Pulp
Heal infected tooth nerves and regenerate pulp tissue, an alternative to conventional root canal therapy.
Salivary Glands
Reboot dysfunctional salivary glands to restore natural moisture and protective function.
Principles of Regenerative Dentistry
The Body's Building Blocks
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types. In dentistry, they could help regenerate vital structures like bone, cartilage, cementum, periodontal ligament fibers, and dental pulp.
Heal, Don't Remove
Present dentistry involves removal of tissues and structures. Regenerative dentistry takes a different path, stimulating the body to regrow missing structures or tissues using biologic materials.
Biologic Materials
Rather than relying on toxic replacement materials, regenerative dentistry uses biologic substances, like PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) from your own blood, to stimulate the body's innate regenerative capacity.
Energy & Frequency
Emerging approaches use energy frequencies to reduce pain and support healing in regenerating areas of the mouth, complementing the body's natural repair processes.
