Guided Tissue Bone Regeneration

Traditionally, eliminating the gum pockets by trimming away the infected gum tissue and by re-contouring the uneven bone tissue treats gum disease. Although this is still an effective way of treating gum disease, new and more sophisticated procedures are used routinely today. For more information regarding guided tissue bone regeneration in our Rockford, Belvidere and Dixon, IL and Janesville, WI offices, please give us a call at 815-227-5858.

Guided Tissue Bone Regeneration "regenerates" the previously lost gum and bone tissue. Most techniques utilize membranes, which are inserted over the bone defects. Other regenerative procedures involve the use of bioactive gels.
