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.
BMP Benefits
Because 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.

Patient Review by Robert L.
This is my third experience with Dr Cho. I have had 5 extractions and 5 implants. The first one was done after two previous attempts by another doctor had failed. Dr Cho was confident that he could get the job done. And you know what”HE DID”. Since then I have had four more done,all successful. The last two were extracted just yesterday. Both roots were cracked and came out in pieces. The entire proceedure took less than one hour with a minimal amount of pain. AMAZING. Dr Cho was professional in every respect. As was his entire staff. Dr Cho is a gem and I would certainly recommend to one and all. BOB L

Dr. Cho and his team are amazing! I had to have 2 wisdom teeth extracted and the procedure went smoothly. Dr. Cho is both gentle and professional; I knew I was in good hands. I have full confidence in him for any future work to be done.

Patient Review by Gertrude S
Have never been in any doctor or dental office where I have been treated as efficiently as kindly as professionally as in Dr. Cho's office. The entire staff is caring, attentive and knowledgeable. Dr. Cho is a miracle - he is a brilliant surgeon whose disposition is so humble and kind that I am amazed that such a person exists in the medical profession. If you want to feel that you are being attended to, heard and feel safe in the hands of these professionals, Dr. Cho is the one.
