Reduce the risk of further complications from ongoing bone and tissue loss

Call 209-721-7751 today for an appointment to put your gums back on track.

Regenerative Treatment Gives You Back What Gum Disease Has Taken

Advanced gum disease often leads to significant bone and tissue loss that weakens the structures supporting your teeth. When a serious periodontal infection has caused that kind of damage, Dr. Kaeley can perform a regenerative procedure to restore what's been lost.

She'll access the area beneath the gums, thoroughly clean it to remove harmful bacteria, and place membranes, bone grafts, and tissue-stimulating proteins to encourage new bone and gum tissue to grow. After this procedure, you can expect:

Bone Regeneration - Lost bone and tissue in the jaw are rebuilt. This restores the overall strength of your jaw and gives your teeth a more stable foundation to rely on.
Prevention of Tooth Loss - Strengthening the bone and gum tissue around your teeth reduces the risk of movement and potential tooth loss that advanced gum disease can cause over time.
Improved Oral Health - Removing disease-causing bacteria and infected tissue creates a healthier environment in the mouth. This lowers the risk of further periodontal complications down the road.
Lasting Results - By addressing the underlying damage caused by gum disease rather than just its symptoms, you can look forward to healthier teeth and gums for the long term.

Pleasant Professional Consultation

I had a very pleasant, professional and thorough initial consultation. A much better experience compared to another initial exam consultation I had at another Modesto periodontist. I was presented with the LANAP option (the other office never mentioned it, probably because they don't have the...

Best in the Bay Area

I am now 3 months after the surgery and amazed by the results!! My gums are not sore/swollen at all & do not bleed anymore! I had consulted and done treatment last year for an entire year with another dentist and they were unable to repair my gums. I have only heartfelt thanks for Dr. Kaeley for helping me repair my gums. Dr. Kaeley will check my pockets next year and I could require another round of LANAP depending on how deep the pockets are. Dr, Kaeley is very knowledgeable & experienced. I don't think there is another gum specialist here in the Bay area like her.

Exceptional Periodontist

Dr. Kaeley is an exceptional Periodontist. The staff is very polite and they make you feel very comfortable. I would recommend Progressive Periodontics to friends and family members. This is the office to be seen if you want or need a Periodontics procedure or treatment.

Leslie D.

ABSOLUTELY the best

I am beyond happy to have found this place. They're so caring, gentle and all the staffs are so friendly. I used to be so deathly afraid to get a basic cleaning for my teeth because no matter how much I tell them to be gentle at other places (due to sensitive teeth), they don't seem to listen but when I started going here for my gum treatments, I always look forward to going now. Please go here if you need periodontics treatment because they are ABSOLUTELY the best.

Common Questions About Guided Bone and Tissue Regeneration

What is guided bone and tissue regeneration?

Guided bone and tissue regeneration is a surgical procedure that restores bone and gum tissue lost to periodontal disease. Using membranes, bone grafts, and tissue-stimulating proteins, the procedure encourages the body to rebuild damaged structures around the teeth. The goal is to strengthen the jaw, stabilize affected teeth, and create a healthier foundation for long-term oral health.

Why does gum disease cause bone and tissue loss?

Gum disease triggers a chronic immune response that gradually breaks down the bone and gum tissue anchoring the teeth in place. Bacteria from the infection release toxins that damage these structures over time. Without treatment, the deterioration continues, causing teeth to loosen and shift. The earlier the infection is addressed, the less structural damage occurs and the better the chances of successful regeneration.

Who is a good candidate for guided bone and tissue regeneration?

Adults who've experienced bone or gum tissue loss as a result of periodontal disease may be good candidates for regenerative treatment. The underlying infection must be fully treated before the procedure can take place. A thorough periodontal evaluation, including imaging of the jaw, helps determine how much damage has occurred and whether regenerative treatment is the right next step.

What materials are used in guided bone and tissue regeneration?

Guided bone and tissue regeneration uses a combination of membranes, bone grafts, and tissue-stimulating proteins. The membrane acts as a barrier that prevents soft tissue from filling the space where bone needs to form. Bone graft material provides a scaffold for new bone to develop, while the proteins signal the body to begin actively rebuilding the structures that gum disease has damaged.

Is guided bone and tissue regeneration painful?

The bone and tissue regeneration procedure is performed with local anesthesia, so discomfort during treatment is minimal. Some soreness, tenderness, and swelling in the days following the procedure are a normal part of the healing process. Most people find the discomfort manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. It's important to closely follow the aftercare instructions provided by your periodontist after the procedure.

How long does guided bone and tissue regeneration take?

The regeneration procedure itself is completed in a single appointment, with the length depending on how many areas of the mouth need to be treated. The regeneration process that follows takes place gradually over several months as the body rebuilds lost bone and tissue. Your periodomtist will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and confirm that healing is moving in the right direction.

How long does recovery take after guided bone and tissue regeneration?

Initial recovery from guided bone and tissue regeneration typically takes one to two weeks, during which some swelling and tenderness are expected. Full bone and tissue regeneration happens gradually over several months as the body rebuilds damaged structures. Regular follow-up appointments allow the periodontist to track healing and confirm that the regenerative process is progressing as planned.

Can guided bone and tissue regeneration save teeth that are at risk?

In many cases, guided bone and tissue regeneration gives compromised teeth a stronger chance of remaining in place for the long term. Rebuilding bone and tissue around a tooth weakened by periodontal disease can significantly improve its stability and reduce the risk of losing it. How much improvement is possible depends on the extent of the damage and the health of surrounding structures.
