Regenerative Procedures in Salida, CO

Regenerative procedures help rebuild lost bone and gum tissue, preventing further damage and supporting long-term oral health.

At Relaxation Dental, we offer advanced regenerative treatments to help restore your gum and bone structure, ensuring a healthier foundation for your teeth and dental restorations.

What Are Regenerative Procedures?

Regenerative dentistry focuses on stimulating natural tissue growth to repair damage caused by periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss. These procedures can:

• Rebuild bone loss from periodontitis or missing teeth.
• Restore gum tissue that has receded.
• Reduce deep pockets to prevent bacterial infections.
• Strengthen the jaw for dental implants or restorations.

These treatments not only improve oral health but also enhance function and aesthetics, helping you maintain a strong, confident smile.

Types of Regenerative Procedures We Offer

1. Bone Regeneration (Restoring Lost Jawbone Structure)

Bone loss occurs when gum disease or missing teeth weaken the jawbone. Bone regeneration helps:

• Stimulate new bone growth to support natural teeth or dental implants.
• Prevent facial collapse by maintaining jawbone volume.
• Increase bone density for stronger, healthier teeth.

This procedure is often combined with bone grafting or dental implant placement.

2. Gum Tissue Regeneration (Restoring Receding Gums)

Gum recession can expose tooth roots, leading to sensitivity, decay, and an uneven gumline. Regenerating gum tissue can:

• Cover exposed roots, reducing tooth sensitivity.
• Protect teeth from decay and infection.
• Enhance smile aesthetics by restoring a natural gumline.

This treatment is often performed using gum grafting or minimally invasive techniques.

3. Pocket Reduction Surgery (Eliminating Deep Gum Pockets)

When gum disease progresses, it creates deep pockets around the teeth, trapping bacteria and leading to further infection. Pocket reduction surgery:

• Removes bacteria and infected tissue from deep gum pockets.
• Tightens gum tissue around the teeth, preventing further damage.
• Stops gum disease from progressing, reducing the risk of tooth loss.

This procedure is often combined with scaling and root planing for optimal gum health.

4. Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning for Gum Disease Treatment)

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline. This treatment:

• Eliminates harmful bacteria that cause gum disease.
• Smooths root surfaces to help gums reattach to the teeth.
• Reduces inflammation and prevents further gum recession.

If left untreated, gum disease can lead to bone loss and tooth loss, making this treatment essential for long-term oral health. Learn more about scaling & root planing.

Who Needs Regenerative Procedures?

You may benefit from regenerative treatments if you have:

• Bone loss due to missing teeth or gum disease.
• Gum recession exposing tooth roots.
• Deep gum pockets trapping bacteria.
• Loose teeth caused by bone or gum deterioration.
• A need for bone support before dental implants.

If you're experiencing any of these concerns, early intervention can prevent further damage and restore your oral health.

• Minimal discomfort with modern techniques and pain management.
• Gradual regeneration of bone or gum tissue over several months.
• Improved gum and bone stability, reducing the risk of further issues.
