Stemcell Implantology
Will Stem Cell Tooth Regeneration Be Possible One Day?
As research uncovers the various ways stem cells can be used to help regenerate and repair cells, more potential uses for this ground-breaking technology emerge all the time. One of the most exciting possibilities is using stem cells to regrow adult teeth. While more work still has to be done, research into regrowing teeth with stem cells has shown tremendous promise, paving the way for an alternative to implants and dentures. Researchers already have been able to use stem cells to grow a tooth on a framework of natural materials, and the technology shows great potential for eventually being able to regenerate teeth.
These cells are the body’s building blocks
Stem cells are very helpful with other dental issues as well, like aiding in healing or regenerating tissue that’s been damaged or lost to disease. These cells are the body’s building blocks, and they make the cells that turn into specialized cells for body parts and organs like the heart, brain, bones, and teeth. One of the reasons dental stem cells show such promise is how easy it is to harvest them from extracted teeth. Other types of stem cells are more difficult to collect.
At the Arizona Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Charles Loschiavo draws upon his decades of experience to offer this innovative treatment. His extensive background gives him the knowledge and skill to effectively deliver stem cell therapy for improved dental success rates.

Our patient Amanda found Dr. Loschiavo’s approach a refreshing change from her past experiences.
“Dr. L was the first doctor to look me in the eyes and tell me that he just wants me to feel comfortable and if I don’t want to do something, just raise my hand. Out of many years of going to the doctors/dentists, I really appreciate him acknowledging my feelings. His dental hygienist was amazing and made me felt comfortable. His office is decorated really nice as well! Very compassionate people work here and I can see that!”
