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. Lenox and Dr. Peterson and Dr. Lenox would be happy to discuss all grafting options with you at the time of consultation.

Patient Review

Ridgeline staff were very welcoming and professional. Dr. Lenox took the time to explain everything and made sure I felt comfortable. The level of attention and compassion I received was night and day compared to my previous experience at bluebird. My wisdom teeth procedure went smoothly, and recovery was so much easier than I expected. I can’t recommend Dr. Lenox and Ridgeline Oral Surgery enough!

Dr. Lennox and his staff were amazing during and after my Wisdom teeth surgery. I am very thankful for the excellent service that they offered. From pre-op to post-op, I knew I was in good hands. I reached out to Blue Bird in town and quickly realized I should cancel my appointment and sign up here at Ridgeline. Transparent, prepared, and clean are all excellent words to describe Ridgeline. Thank you for your excellent service. Everyone was polite.

Patient Review

I recently had to have a molar removed, and it was found there was a fracture in the root, and it had become infected. I am extremely pleased with the professionalism of the entire staff and Dr. Peterson and would highly recommend Ridgeline for anyone needing the many types of care that they provide.

Patient Review By Gloria K C

Dr Lenox cane to the Bend Hospital on a Sunday morning (and afternoon!) to care for me after a fall while exploring a lava tube. He carefully stitched the inside and outside of my lip. He was kind, confident and skilled. 10 days have passed and I cannot believe how my lip has healed, looking very normal. I would not have expected such amazing results. Thank you Dr Lenox for giving up your Sunday and taking such care to repair my facial injury.

Patient Review By Catherina M

I've gone in a few times and have had fillings done. One of my fillings was very stubborn but the staff and Doctor did everything they could to get it taken care of and it worked. Upon my recent visit for a simple cleaning all the staff asked how my filling was doing. That surprised me that they would remember with how many patients come by every day. Everyone is kind and fantastic at their jobs. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a new dentist!
