When you lose a tooth, your primary focus is often on the replacement. But what happens underneath the gumline is just as critical. Your jawbone begins to shrink almost immediately, which can compromise your long-term dental health and your ability to get a dental implant later. At Impladent, we designed OsteoGen® Plugs as a simple, advanced solution to this very problem, ensuring your jaw is ready for a strong future.

Understanding the role of bone grafting is the first step. Here is a closer look at how OsteoGen® Plugs work to prepare your jaw for a bone graft for tooth implant. Contact us today.

It's a Graft and Plugin One.

Traditional bone grafting often involves your dentist mixing a loose, granular dental graft material and carefully packing it into the socket. OsteoGen® Plugs eliminate this step. They are a unique, pre-formed plug made of Type I bovine collagen combined with bioactive resorbable calcium apatite crystals. This all-in-one design means the graft is delivered directly into the socket with no mixing and no mess.

It Prevents Bone Loss Proactively.

The moment a tooth is pulled, the empty socket is a vulnerable site. Without a root to support, the surrounding bone quickly resorbs. Placing OsteoGen® Plugs immediately after extraction is a proactive step that preserves the socket. The plug acts as a stable, physical scaffold, preventing the surrounding gum and bone from collapsing into the void.

It Simplifies Your Healing Process.

Because the OsteoGen® Plugs combine the graft and collagen plug, the procedure is simplified. In many socket preservation cases, the plug's structure is robust enough to protect the site on its own, eliminating the need for a separate barrier membrane. This often means a less complex procedure for you and a more comfortable, straightforward healing period.

It’s a Bioactive Foundation.

This is not just a passive filler. The bioactive crystals in the plug actively signal your body’s own bone-forming cells to migrate into the site. Over the next few months, your body naturally and completely replaces the resorbable plug with your own new, dense bone. This process creates the ideal, living foundation necessary for a successful bone graft for tooth implant.

It’s Part of an Integrated System.

For more complex cases where a bony wall may be missing, OsteoGen® Plugs are designed to work perfectly as part of a system. Your dentist can pair the plug with our OsteoFlex™ resorbable membrane. The OsteoFlex™ is a flexible, long-lasting barrier that drapes over the dental graft to contain and protect it, guiding bone growth precisely where it's needed most.
