What Are Regenerative Procedures?

When deep gum disease (periodontitis) develops, harmful oral bacteria settle under the gumline where regular toothbrushing cannot reach. Over time, these bacteria destroy the soft tissue attachments and eat away at the jawbone, which holds your teeth in place. As bone disappears, deep spaces called periodontal pockets form around the tooth roots.

Regenerative procedures clean away hidden bacterial plaque, clear out infected tissue, and place natural growth materials directly into bone defects. Instead of just stopping disease, regeneration prompts your body to build new bone, ligament, and gum attachment where it was previously lost.

Why Choose Bone and Tissue Regeneration?

When you meet with Dr. Faucher or Dr. Manji, they carefully evaluate your jaw structure to recommend solutions that give your teeth the best long-term outlook.

• Saves Natural Teeth: Rebuilding bone support prevents teeth from becoming loose, avoiding painful extractions and replacement costs.
• Reduces Deep Gum Pockets: Closing deep spaces makes home brushing and flossing effective again, lowering the risk of future infections.
• Prepares Your Jaw for Implants: If you already lost a tooth, rebuilding bone height and width creates a solid bedrock for long-lasting dental implants.
• Protects Facial Structure: Rebuilding lost jawbone preserves your natural jaw contours, preventing the sunken appearance often linked to bone loss.

Regenerative Procedures in Langley

Bone Regeneration

Dental implants and natural teeth require a strong, thick jawbone for lasting support. When advanced gum disease damages this foundation, the jawbone will become thinned by infection and, as a result, can struggle to anchor an implant or keep teeth stable. Bone regeneration (or bone grafting) builds back this lost support.

Gum Tissue Regeneration

Severe gum recession strips away the protective seal around your tooth roots, making your teeth look unnaturally long and causing sharp temperature sensitivity. Gum tissue regeneration restores healthy coverage around your roots to protect them from decay and improve the natural frame of your smile.

Pocket Reduction Surgery

Deep pockets between your teeth and gums create hidden traps where destructive bacteria thrive out of reach of your toothbrush and floss. Pocket reduction surgery reduces pocket depth, making it easier to keep your mouth clean and healthy.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical deep cleaning designed to halt early-to-moderate gum disease before severe bone loss occurs.

• Scaling: Special dental tools remove hardened plaque and tartar (calculus) from the surfaces of your teeth above and slightly below the gumline.
• Root Planing: The periodontist carefully smooths down the rough spots on your tooth roots under local anesthesia. Smoothing the roots removes hidden bacterial toxins and creates a clean surface that helps your gums reattach naturally.

What to Expect During Your Treatment Journey

Receiving care at our Langley office is designed to be straightforward, comfortable, and stress-free.

1. Comfort First: We ensure the treatment area is completely numb before starting. Comfort options are always available to help you remain calm and relaxed throughout the visit.
2. Thorough Cleaning: Dr. Faucher or Dr. Manji lifts back the gum tissue slightly to access deep pockets, thoroughly cleaning away hardened tartar and bacterial deposits from the root surface.
3. Placing Regenerative Materials: The bone graft, protective membrane, or growth proteins are positioned directly into the pocket defect.
4. Gentle Closure: The gum tissue is folded back neatly over the graft site and secured with delicate sutures to protect the healing environment.

How to Care for Your Mouth After Bone Regeneration

Following post-treatment steps helps protect your new graft while your body heals.

1. First 24 to 48 Hours: Relax at home and avoid hard physical exercise. Do not spit forcefully, rinse vigorously, or use drinking straws, as suction can dislodge the graft materials.
2. Days 1 to 14: Choose cool or lukewarm soft foods, like scrambled eggs, yogurt, and mashed potatoes. Avoid sharp, crunchy, or spicy foods near the treatment area.
3. Weeks 1 to 3: Do not brush or floss directly over the surgical site until cleared by your periodontist. Instead, gently swish with the recommended antimicrobial mouth rinse to keep the area clean.
4. Ongoing Maintenance: Attend scheduled follow-ups at Langley Perio & Implants so Dr. Manji or Dr. Faucher can track bone growth and keep your gums healthy with routine maintenance cleans.
