FAQs
What is guided tissue regeneration?
Guided tissue regeneration is a dental procedure that uses a barrier membrane to direct the growth of new bone and gum tissue, helping restore areas damaged by periodontal disease or trauma.
Is the procedure painful?
We use local anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Some mild soreness afterward is normal, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and proper care.
How long does it take to heal?
Healing times vary, but typically, it takes a few weeks to a few months for the tissue to regenerate fully, depending on the severity of the damage and your body’s response.
Am I a candidate for guided tissue regeneration?
If you have periodontal bone loss or need support before dental implant placement, guided tissue regeneration might be recommended. A consultation at Bedford Complete Dentistry will determine your suitability.
What can I expect after the procedure?
You’ll need to follow specific oral care instructions to protect the treated area. Regular follow-ups with our Bedford team will monitor your healing progress and ensure the best outcome.
