When is Tissue Regeneration Required?

Periodontal disease often starts quietly. Your gums may look red or bleed easily, or you may not notice any symptoms. This stage usually responds well to treatment, but if it is not diagnosed promptly and treated, it can progress to a more advanced stage. This can lead to extensive tissue damage, tooth loss, and widespread inflammation. If you have suffered advanced periodontal disease, you may benefit from surgical treatment to restore health and rebuild lost tissues.

Tissue regeneration is a procedure that uses donor or synthetic tissue to stimulate tissue growth. This can help stabilize loose teeth, prevent further damage, or reduce the depth of periodontal pockets. Over time, your body will begin to produce its own bone or soft tissue. Usually within a few months, the damaged area will have been restored to its full natural size.

Although this type of procedure can be used on its own, it may also be a part of a more extensive treatment plan that includes scaling and root planing, which is a deep cleaning procedure, and dental implants or other procedures designed to stabilize your dental health.
