Guided Bone Regeneration
Gingivectomy
This procedure removes inflamed or enlarged gum tissue caused by gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) or other factors such as medication side effects. By eliminating the diseased tissue, gingivectomy helps reduce gum pockets and makes it easier to clean teeth thoroughly.
Who Needs GBR?
- Patients with bone loss due to tooth extraction, gum disease, or trauma.
- Those preparing for dental implants but lacking sufficient bone volume.
- Patients requiring sinus lift or ridge augmentation.
Benefits of Guided Bone Regeneration:
- Provides a stable foundation for dental implants.
- Helps improve aesthetic outcomes by restoring natural jaw contours.
- Supports long-term oral health and function.
- Minimally invasive with a high success rate.
How Does Guided Bone Regeneration Work?
- The procedure begins by placing a bone graft material in the area with bone loss. Then, a special barrier membrane is carefully positioned over the graft to protect it. This membrane prevents fast-growing soft tissues from invading the space, allowing slow-growing bone cells to repopulate and rebuild the jawbone.
- Over the next few months, your body naturally regenerates strong, healthy bone, creating the ideal base for implants or other dental restorations.
