Dr. Ernesto Lee developed the Subperiosteal Minimally Invasive Aesthetic Ridge Augmentation Technique (S.M.A.R.T.) to predictably manage complex cases in the esthetic zone.

S.M.A.R.T. provides a simplified and efficient alternative to hip grafts, block grafts and traditional GBR procedures, while avoiding soft tissue defects and loss of papillae. S.M.A.R.T. is a disruptive technique that provides previously unavailable solutions to challenging clinical scenarios including reconstruction of bone loss around implants and vertical augmentation. It has the potential to change the future of bone regeneration.

At S.M.A.R.T. we envision a future where the majority of bone grafting procedures will be performed using our minimally invasive methodology, to the benefit of our patients. Laparoscopic principles and special instruments are used to achieve predictable results, with less pain, less swelling and fewer complications. In pursuit of this goal, we have structured a training program for surgically experienced clinicians.

S.M.A.R.T. is the only minimally invasive bone grafting method with a documented track record backed by solid scientific evidence published in peer reviewed journals
