Regenerative Procedures
When gum disease has caused damage to the bone and tissue that support your teeth, regenerative procedures can help rebuild what has been lost. The goal is to strengthen the foundation around your teeth and, wherever possible, avoid the need for extraction.
Guided Tissue Regeneration
This technique uses a thin, biocompatible membrane to encourage your body to regrow bone and gum tissue in areas damaged by gum disease. The membrane acts as a guide, creating space for the right type of cells to fill in the area. Over time, the supporting structures around your teeth are rebuilt, improving their stability.
Bone Grafting for Gum Disease
Where gum disease has led to bone loss around the teeth, specialised grafting techniques can help encourage new bone growth. This additional support can make the difference between saving a tooth and losing it, giving your teeth a stronger, more stable foundation for the future.
Helping Your Body Heal
Dr. Bhuva may also use advanced biological proteins and growth factors that work with your body to enhance the natural healing process. These materials encourage your own cells to regenerate tissue more effectively, often improving the results of regenerative treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What results can I expect from regenerative procedures?
Results vary from person to person, but many patients see meaningful improvements in tooth stability, reduced pocket depths and healthier gums overall. The primary aim is to preserve your natural teeth and avoid the need for extraction wherever possible.
How long is the recovery period?
Initial healing usually takes two to four weeks, during which time you will need to take things gently with the treated area. The full regeneration process continues over several months. Dr. Bhuva will give you clear aftercare guidance and check in regularly to make sure everything is healing well.
