Why This Matters
Most people don't realize it, but your jawbone relies on the constant stimulation from chewing. Every bite sends a signal down through your tooth roots into the bone, telling it to stay dense and strong. Remove a tooth — and that signal goes silent.
Within months of tooth loss, the surrounding bone begins to resorb. Within years, entire sections of the jaw can collapse inward, altering your facial structure, making implants impossible, and — if left untreated — permanently limiting your options.
Bone grafting interrupts this cycle. It restores the volume, density, and architecture of your jaw — giving you back the foundation needed for implants, preserving your facial profile, and protecting your long-term oral health.

Dr. Fien's proprietary Rib Roast Technique™ uses autogenous grafts — bone tissue taken from your own body and transplanted precisely to the deficient jaw site. Because it's your own bone, rejection risk is virtually eliminated and integration is faster, more predictable, and longer lasting than synthetic alternatives.
This technique was published in Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry and presented at national periodontal conferences — a testament to Dr. Fien's leadership in advancing the field.

The window right after a tooth is removed is critical. Without intervention, bone starts resorbing within weeks. Dr. Fien places graft material during the extraction itself — maintaining ridge width and height so you have the bone volume needed for implants when you're ready.

GBR uses a barrier membrane to confine a bone graft to a defect site, preventing soft tissue from invading and allowing new bone to regenerate in precisely the right location. Dr. Fien's novel fixation screw technique — published in a 2024 peer-reviewed journal — eliminates the need for periosteal dissection while maintaining superior membrane stability.
This approach is used for ridge augmentation, horizontal defects, and complex implant site preparation — cases other providers often turn away.

Many patients are told they "don't have enough bone" for upper jaw implants — and a sinus lift changes that. By gently elevating the sinus floor and placing bone graft material in the space created, new bone forms over the following months, opening the door to implant placement that simply wasn't possible before.
