Bone Regeneration

Schedule an Appointment

Healthy gum and bone tissue are meant to fit snugly around your teeth—much like a turtleneck fits around your neck. When periodontal disease progresses, it damages this important support system. As the bone and tissue around your teeth are destroyed, deep pockets can form between the tooth and the gum. These pockets create a space where bacteria and tartar can collect on the root surfaces, far below the gumline—an area that cannot be cleaned with at-home care or even during a routine dental cleaning.

If these pockets are not treated, the infection and bone loss will continue to worsen over time. At Park Cities Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer comprehensive treatment options to manage periodontal disease based on your individual needs and the condition of your oral health.

What Is Guided Tissue Regeneration?

When periodontal disease has caused the loss of bone supporting your teeth, a procedure called guided tissue regeneration may be recommended. This advanced technique is designed to help your body rebuild the bone and tissue lost to disease, potentially saving teeth that might otherwise be lost.

During the procedure, the gum tissue is gently moved back to give your periodontist direct access to the area. Once we can clearly see the site, we carefully remove any infection and harmful bacteria. Then, we place specialized materials—such as bone grafts, membranes (filters), or tissue-stimulating proteins—into the area. These materials help guide your body’s natural healing process, encouraging the growth of new bone and connective tissue.

After the regenerative materials are in place, we reposition the gum tissue to cover the area and promote healing.

Why Is This Procedure Important?

Guided tissue regeneration helps reduce the depth of periodontal pockets and restore the foundation of bone and tissue around your teeth. In doing so, it can strengthen the support system of your natural teeth and slow or even reverse the progression of periodontal disease.

Thanks to advancements in technology and surgical techniques, these procedures can now be performed in a minimally invasive way—making the process more comfortable and helping to reduce recovery time for our patients.

What to Expect After the Procedure

Healing time varies depending on your individual health, the severity of the bone loss, and the materials used during the procedure. In general, it takes about four to six months for new bone to develop. We will monitor your progress closely and take updated X-rays to evaluate the success of the regeneration.

Following your procedure, professional maintenance care is essential. We will partner with you to create a personalized follow-up plan that includes periodontal maintenance visits and detailed home care instructions. A consistent oral hygiene routine at home and ongoing professional care are critical to protecting your results and maintaining your overall oral health.
