Periodontal Regeneration

One of the effects of periodontal disease is the loss of bone and tissue that supports the teeth. Periodontal regeneration are procedures that regenerate the lost bone and tissue supporting your teeth. This can reverse some of the damage caused by periodontal disease.

During this procedure, one of our periodontist will open up the the gum tissue and removes the plaque and calculus (tarter) which is harboring the disease-causing bacteria. Different materials such as Membranes (filters), bone grafts or tissue-stimulating proteins including your own found in your blood using PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) are then used to stimulate your body’s own natural ability to regenerate bone and tissue. Eliminating existing bacteria and regenerating bone and tissue helps to reduce pocket depth and repair damage caused by the progression of periodontal disease. This helps prevent future periodontal disease and bone loss by removing areas for the bacteria to take hold. With a combination of daily oral hygiene and professional maintenance care, you’ll increase the chances of keeping your natural teeth – and decrease the chances of other health problems associated with periodontal disease, such as diabetes and heart disease.
