Dentist First on the West Coast to Perform Concentrated Stem Cell Transplant for Dental Implant Procedure
Patient’s Own Stem Cells to Be Harvested and Transplanted Into the Jaw to Generate Dense Bone Tissue for Permanent Dental Implantation. The first on the West Coast, and only second in the nation, to perform this innovative procedure, Dr. Ho will harvest and transplant stem cells from the patient’s own bone marrow into the jawbone to create a dense bone structure to which a dental implant can be permanently set.

Stem Cells From The Teeth: A New Discovery
Scientist has found out recently that dental pulp taken from the wisdom teeth can become a source of therapeutic stem cells. This finding was informed to the public by Japanese researchers. This newly discovered cell is called mesenchymal stem cells. It is capable of developing body tissues such as bone, cartilage and fat.
Adult Stem Cells from Teeth Could Heal Stroke Damaged Brains
Dental pulp stem cells are highly promising as precursors of replacement neurons (brain cells) because they are easily accessible, can be taken from the patient needing treatment, and they have similar properties to cranial neural crest cells that normally make brain cells and other cranial tissues.
