Procedures that regenerate lost bone and tissue supporting your teeth can reverse some of the damage caused by periodontal disease.
Drs. Ira Levenson and Lori Little-Levenson may recommend a regenerative procedure when the bone supporting your teeth has been destroyed due to periodontal disease. As periodontal disease progresses, bone is loss resulting in gum pockets and jawbone craters surrounding the teeth. These pockets are areas where bacteria and infection spread causing pain and discomfort and the potential loss of teeth. Procedures to regenerate damaged bone and tissue can reverse some of the effects of Periodontal Disease.
Regenerative Bone and Tissue Procedures:
Regenerative surgical procedures are performed to repair damage to the surrounding jawbone. This procedure can replace some of the bone that has been lost, thereby improving the long term stability of your teeth and surrounding jawbone. We are dedicated to providing the best treatment options for your unique situation. Treatment options depend on the severity of the bone loss and the type of bone loss experienced.
Regenerative Procedure Outcomes
- Eliminates existing bacteria
- Reduces pocket depth by regenerating bone and tissue
- Repairs damage caused by the progression of periodontal disease
