The S.M.A.R.T. (Subperiosteal Minimally-Invasive Aesthetic Ridge Augmentation Technique) technique is used as a minimally invasive approach for jaw bone reconstruction, providing superior bone regeneration outcomes.

Since every patient and situation is unique, we recommend you schedule a consultation with Dr. Ryan McNeil to discuss your case. SMART bone grafting is an excellent option for those who have been missing a tooth and need added bone for implant placement. Most bone grafts, even the most complex, can be performed with the SMART technique.

WHAT IS S.M.A.R.T. Bone Grafting?

SMART bone grafting is an innovative bone grafting technique that regenerates your jawbone, using just one small incision. The minimally invasive technology for alveolar bone loss and atrophy provides less swelling and pain and fewer complications when compared to traditional bone grafting. Perhaps the biggest advantage to this advanced procedure is that it requires just one surgical site with no need for a second site to harvest bone. This results in faster healing and shorter recovery time.

S.m.a.r.t. Bone Grafting Vs. Traditional Bone Grafting

When comparing the revolutionary technology of S.M.A.R.T. bone grafting with traditional bone grafting, S.M.A.R.T. provides a better patient experience while delivering even better results.

Less pain
Less swelling
Faster healing
Less downtime
Fewer complications
Less risk of infection
Much-improved outcomes

How Does it Work?

Developed and introduced to the oral surgical industry by Dr. Ernesto Lee in 2017, the SMART bone grafting technique provides superior bone regeneration by way of a minimally invasive method. SMART stands for Subperiosteal, Minimally Invasive, Aesthetic, Ridge Augmentation Technique, and the procedure entails one small incision, no flap elevation, no tenting screws, and no membranes. In other words, SMART is a disruptive technology that is turning the traditional bone grafting approach on its head and revolutionizing the patient experience. We can now perform bone augmentation by delivering a xenograft/growth factor mixture to the site with specially designed instruments and laparoscopic techniques. Less invasive means faster healing, better results, and overall a better experience.

Advanced Training Required for SMART Bone Grafting

SMART bone grafting training and instrumentation has been made available to a select number of qualified doctors since its conception. Specialty instruction and rigorous training are required to effectively perform this breakthrough technique. Dr. McNeil has completed the training necessary to perform this procedure and actively seeks out techniques that are less invasive, cutting-edge alternatives to traditional techniques.
