Restoring Lost Bone and Gum Support
Periodontal disease can cause permanent damage by destroying gum tissue and the bone that supports your teeth. For many years, these effects were considered irreversible. Today, modern regenerative treatments make it possible to restore some of what was lost. At FORMA Dental Implants & Periodontics, we specialize in periodontal regeneration using advanced techniques such as growth factors, membranes, and biologic materials. Patients acrossOak Brook, Frankfort, and Kankakee benefit from our ability to rebuild tissue, stabilize teeth, and protect long-term oral health.
What is periodontal regeneration?
Periodontal regeneration is a set of advanced procedures designed to regrow bone and gum tissue destroyed by periodontal disease. Instead of simply controlling infection, these treatments focus on rebuilding the structures that support teeth.
Growth factors– Proteins that stimulate natural healing and tissue regeneration.
Barrier membranes – Thin materials that guide new tissue growth where it is needed most.
Bone grafts – Materials placed to stimulate new bone development.
Tissue engineering – The combination of biologic agents and surgical techniques to maximize regeneration.
The goal is to create a stronger, healthier foundation for natural teeth and dental implants.
Why is regeneration important?
Patients often ask why they need regeneration instead of just treating gum disease with deep cleanings or surgery. The answer lies in what gum disease leaves behind.
When bone and gum tissue are destroyed, the teeth become loose and less stable. Regeneration is important because it:
Restores bone and gum tissue lost to periodontal disease.
Stabilizes teeth that would otherwise be at risk of extraction.
Improves the chances of keeping natural teeth for life.
Creates a healthier environment for dental implants.
Prevents further collapse of facial structure.
By rebuilding what has been lost, regeneration gives patients a second chance at long-term oral health.
What technology does FORMA use?
Patients in Oak Brook, Frankfort, and Kankakee benefit from advanced regenerative technologies, including:
CBCT 3D imaging for precise assessment of bone loss.
Biologic materials such as enamel matrix derivatives and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to accelerate healing.
Resorbable membranes to guide tissue regeneration naturally.
Microsurgical techniques for greater precision and comfort.
These innovations make regeneration more effective and predictable than ever before.
How does periodontal regeneration work?
At FORMA, periodontal regeneration is carefully planned and customized to each patient’s needs.
Assessment
We use digital imaging and 3D scans to evaluate the areas of bone and gum loss.
Preparation
Diseased tissue is removed, and the area is cleaned thoroughly.
Placement of materials
Growth factors, barrier membranes, or grafts are applied to stimulate regeneration.
Healing
Over time, the body naturally rebuilds bone and tissue in the treated area.
Follow-up
We monitor progress to ensure stability and long-term success.
What questions do patients often ask about periodontal regeneration?
Is regeneration painful?
No. Local anesthesia is used, and sedation options are available. Patients usually report mild discomfort afterward that subsides quickly.
How long does it take to see results?
Healing begins immediately, but full regeneration of bone and gum tissue may take several months.
Does regeneration always work?
Results vary, but most patients experience measurable improvement. Success depends on the severity of bone loss, oral hygiene, and overall health.
Can regeneration save my teeth?
In many cases, yes. Regeneration can stabilize teeth that would otherwise be lost.
What are the benefits of periodontal regeneration?
The advantages extend beyond restoring bone and gum tissue:
Stabilization of teeth – Reduces mobility and risk of tooth loss.
Improved gum health– Creates stronger, healthier tissue.
Better oral function – Stronger support for chewing and speaking.
Enhanced aesthetics – Restores natural gum contours.
Foundation for implants – Regenerated bone can support future implant treatment.
Regeneration helps patients not only preserve their teeth but also enjoy better function and confidence.
