Periodontal disease affects more than just your gums. It can actually cause bone resorption, creating a gap between your teeth and jaw that can eventually lead to tooth loss. Guided tissue regeneration can be used in tandem with bone grafting to ensure the proper tissue grows in the right place to provide support for your smile and eliminate the risk for tooth loss.
DID YOU KNOW?
About 68% of all seniors (65 or older) have gum disease.
Why do I need Guided Tissue Regeneration?
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) is one of the best ways to restore your jaw bone and your oral health if you have a severe case of gum disease. Left untreated, your condition could result in the loss of multiple teeth and other serious health problems. But with periodontal care and GTR, you can restore your gums, your jaw, and your teeth, and continue smiling proudly for decades to come.
