Guided Tissue and Bone Regeneration is an advanced procedure used to treat gum disease and restore oral health. Traditionally, gum disease was treated by trimming away infected gum tissue and re-contouring uneven bone tissue. While this remains an effective method, modern periodontal and endodontic techniques now allow for more sophisticated, regenerative treatments that help preserve your natural teeth and bone structure.
With guided tissue and bone regeneration, lost gum and bone tissue can be rebuilt rather than removed. This dental procedure often uses special membranes placed over bone defects to encourage natural tissue growth. Some membranes are bio-absorbable, while others require removal once healing has occurred. In certain cases, bioactive gels are also used to stimulate regeneration and enhance recovery.
This treatment may be recommended as part of a periodontal maintenance plan or in conjunction with other restorative procedures such as dental implants, crown lengthening, or gum grafting. Patients who have experienced cracked teeth, broken teeth, or bone loss due to gum disease can benefit from guided tissue regeneration to support healthier, more stable oral structures.
Whether part of cosmetic dentistry, osseous surgery, or endodontic care, guided tissue regeneration helps create a strong foundation for veneers, Porcelain Crowns, or Porcelain Veneers, improving both function and aesthetics.
