Guided Tissue Regeneration | Helotes, TX
Regenerate Lost Bone and Save Your Teeth
Gum disease can spread infection to the jawbone, which can cause bone loss and your teeth to become loose. Through a process called guided tissue regeneration, Dr. Nancy Perez-Medina can help you regrow bone and save teeth that would have fallen out or needed to be extracted. Guided tissue regeneration saves natural teeth, provides a stable environment for dental implants, and even can make dentures more secure and comfortable.
Bone Loss Threatens Your Teeth and Dental Implants
Because natural teeth and dental implants are rooted in the jawbone, they rely on the supporting structure to function properly. When gum disease or an infection affects the jawbone, it threatens your teeth and may make it impossible to place implants. Guided tissue regeneration uses special proteins and bioactive growth factors to prompt your jawbone to regrow itself naturally. This causes loose teeth to become more firmly implanted in the jawbone, and may make it possible to receive a dental implant.
Bone Loss Affects Your Appearance
Jawbone deterioration, whether due to gum disease or missing teeth, can have a huge impact on your appearance. When the jawbone weakens, it gives your face a sunken look. Restoring the jawbone with guided tissue regeneration better supports your teeth and dental implants, and it also helps you maintain your healthy-looking appearance.
