Procedures that regenerate lost bone and tissue supporting your teeth can actually aid in reversing some of the damage caused by periodontal disease.
Dr. Wentz may recommend a regenerative procedure when the bone supporting your teeth has been destroyed due to periodontal disease. These procedures can reverse some of the damage by regenerating lost bone and tissue.
During this procedure, the doctor typically folds back the gum tissue and removes the disease-causing bacteria. Then membranes, bone grafts, or tissue-stimulating proteins can be used to encourage your body's natural ability to regenerate bone and tissue. Our bodies are amazing in their ability to heal themselves!
Eliminating any existing bacteria and beginning the process of regenerating bone and tissue helps to reduce pocket depth and repair damage caused by the progression of periodontal disease. With a combination of daily oral hygiene and guidance from our wonderful staff, you'll increase the chances of keeping your natural teeth – and decrease the chances of other health problems associated with periodontal disease.
