Bone Morphogenetic Protein
Bone morphogenic protein is an isolated protein that induces specific cells in our body to form new cartilage and bone. During surgery, the BMP is soaked onto and binds with a collagen sponge. The sponge is then designed to resorb, or disappear, over time. As the sponge dissolves, the bone morphogenic protein stimulates the cells to produce new bone. The BMP also goes away once it has completed its task of jump starting the normal bone healing process.
Since there is no need to harvest bone from the patients’ hip for BMP, recipients were spared donor site pain. Complications from the graft harvest site are also eliminated with the use of bone morphogenic protein.
Dr. Jacob would be happy to discuss all grafting options with you at the time of consultation.

Dr. Jacob, first and foremost, provides the highest caliber of care to his patients. I feel calm because I know he is doing his utmost for me personally. He has the best interactions with patients in this practice that normally would frighten me! But as soon as I met him, I knew because of his background that he was the top of the line provider that I needed. I was blessed the day I met him and this wonderful staff. Thank you for all the wonderful care you provide.

I could go on and on about the staff and Dr. Jacob. I had 4 teeth extracted in one day with only local anesthesia, but the experience was not at all what you would expect. The staff greeted me with smiles on the day of the surgery, got me comfortable and explained (again) what would be done, gave me headphones to listen to music and then the doctor went to work. As he was working he kept encouraging me and telling me how well I was doing! It's so rare that a doctor with all his credentials is also humble and kind! Dr. Jacob even personally called me that evening to see how I was doing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'll definitely use their services again and I'd recommend this office to all my friends and family. Thank you all again! 🙂
