When periodontal disease causes bone loss around the teeth, it can compromise stability and create deep pockets that harbor bacteria. Guided bone and tissue regeneration is an advanced surgical procedure designed to restore lost support, promote natural healing, and preserve at-risk teeth or prepare sites for dental implants.

How the Procedure Works

Dr. Barack or Dr. Gupta will carefully clean the affected area, removing bacteria and diseased tissue from the bone defect. A biocompatible membrane is then placed between the gum tissue and bone to guide regeneration. This barrier prevents fast-growing soft tissue from occupying the space, allowing new bone and connective tissue to regenerate in the area.

In many cases, a bone graft material is also used to stimulate bone growth and reinforce the site. Most membranes are resorbable and dissolve naturally.

Benefits

• Promotes regeneration of lost bone and attachment tissue
• Helps stabilize teeth affected by bone loss
• Rebuilds proper bone architecture for future dental implants
• Supports long-term periodontal health

What to Expect

The procedure is performed comfortably under local anesthesia. Postoperative care includes gentle cleaning, a soft diet, and close follow-up to ensure proper healing and integration.

With guided bone and tissue regeneration, lost support can often be rebuilt—helping preserve your teeth and restore the foundation of your smile.
