Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) is an advanced periodontal procedure used to help restore bone and supporting tissues that have been damaged by periodontal (gum) disease. At Mayflower Periodontics & Implant Center, GTR is performed to encourage the body’s natural ability to regenerate lost tissue and improve the long-term stability of your teeth.

During the procedure, a specialized barrier membrane is placed between the gum tissue and the affected area of bone. This membrane protects the healing site and allows bone and connective tissue to regenerate while preventing unwanted tissue from interfering with the healing process.

GTR is often used in areas with deep periodontal defects and may be combined with bone grafting materials to enhance results. Recovery is typically well tolerated, with mild swelling or soreness that can be managed with post-operative care instructions provided by our team.

When combined with excellent oral hygiene and regular periodontal maintenance, Guided Tissue Regeneration can significantly improve gum health, reduce pocket depth, and help preserve natural teeth for years to come.

At Mayflower Periodontics and Implant Center, our team will carefully evaluate your condition and determine whether Guided Tissue Regeneration is the most appropriate treatment option for your long-term oral health.
