What are Guided Tissue Regeneration?

Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) is a specialised dental surgical procedure that uses barrier membranes to direct the growth of new bone and soft tissue in areas damaged by periodontal disease. The technique works by preventing fast-growing gum tissue from invading the space where slower-growing bone tissue needs to regenerate, effectively creating a protected environment where lost bone, cementum, and periodontal ligaments can reform naturally. This regenerative approach helps restore support for teeth affected by periodontal disease, improving their long-term stability and function while addressing both the aesthetic and functional consequences of tissue loss, with typical healing times of one to two weeks following the procedure.

Conditions We Treat With Guided Tissue Regeneration

Our Barnet practice uses Guided Tissue Regeneration to treat particular dental conditions that respond well to this treatment approach. We thoroughly evaluate your condition to ensure Guided Tissue Regeneration is the most suitable solution. Our team explains which conditions can be successfully treated with Guided Tissue Regeneration.


  • Advanced Periodontal Disease - We use guided tissue regeneration to stimulate the regrowth of bone and gum tissue that has been damaged or lost due to severe periodontal disease, helping to restore proper tooth support.

  • Bone Loss Around Teeth - Our GTR procedures can regenerate alveolar bone that has deteriorated due to infection or tooth loss, creating a stronger foundation for your natural teeth.

  • Gum Recession - Using barrier membranes, we can guide the regeneration of healthy gum tissue to cover exposed tooth roots and prevent further recession.

  • Furcation Defects - We treat these complex areas where bone loss has occurred between the roots of multi-rooted teeth, using guided tissue regeneration to restore bone and periodontal support.

  • Dental Implant Site Preparation - When insufficient bone exists for dental implant placement, we use guided tissue and bone regeneration techniques to create an optimal foundation for successful implants.

  • Extraction Socket Preservation - Following tooth extraction, we can use GTR to maintain the socket's bone volume and shape, preparing it for future restoration.

  • Periodontal Pockets - Deep pockets between teeth and gums can be treated with guided tissue regeneration to regenerate lost periodontal ligament, cementum and supporting bone.

  • Ridge Deformities - We can correct irregularities in the alveolar ridge using guided tissue regeneration to create a more natural contour for prosthetic tooth replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is guided tissue regeneration?


Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is an advanced periodontal procedure that stimulates the growth of new bone and tissue to support teeth affected by gum disease. At London Dental Specialists, our periodontists use specialized membranes and tissue-stimulating proteins to create a protected space where new bone can regenerate. This procedure helps repair and regenerate the supporting structures damaged by periodontal disease, preventing tooth loss and restoring oral health. GTR is considered one of the most predictable techniques for regenerating lost periodontal tissues.



Is guided tissue regeneration painful?


Guided tissue regeneration at London Dental Specialists is performed with appropriate anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. During the procedure itself, you should feel minimal to no discomfort. Following treatment, some mild to moderate discomfort may be experienced for several days as the surgical site heals. This can typically be managed with prescribed pain medications or over-the-counter analgesics. Our specialists prioritize patient comfort throughout the entire process and provide detailed instructions on pain management during your recovery period.



How much does guided tissue regeneration cost in London?


The cost of guided tissue regeneration at London Dental Specialists typically ranges from £800 to £2,500 per site treated. Factors affecting the cost include the number of teeth requiring treatment, the type of regenerative materials used (such as membranes and bone grafts), and the complexity of your case. During your consultation, we provide a comprehensive treatment plan with transparent pricing. We offer various payment options to help make this important periodontal treatment accessible to our patients.



How long does the guided tissue regeneration procedure take?


At London Dental Specialists, a guided tissue regeneration procedure typically takes between 60 to 90 minutes to complete. The exact duration depends on the number of sites being treated and the complexity of your case. For treatment of a single tooth area, the procedure may be completed in about an hour, while more extensive regeneration involving multiple teeth might require additional time. Our specialists take the necessary time to perform the procedure with precision, ensuring optimal placement of regenerative materials for the best possible outcomes.



What is the recovery time after guided tissue regeneration?


Recovery after guided tissue regeneration at London Dental Specialists varies between patients but typically follows this timeline: The initial healing phase lasts about 1-2 weeks, during which you may experience some swelling and discomfort. Most patients can return to normal activities within 48-72 hours, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for 7-10 days. Complete healing and integration of the regenerative materials takes approximately 6-9 months, though this occurs beneath the gum line and won't affect your daily comfort. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process and ensure optimal results.



Am I a good candidate for guided tissue regeneration?


You may be a good candidate for guided tissue regeneration at London Dental Specialists if:



  • You have moderate to severe periodontal disease with bone loss

  • You have deep periodontal pockets around your teeth

  • You're at risk of tooth loss due to compromised supporting structures

  • You're in good general health with no uncontrolled medical conditions

  • You don't smoke or are willing to quit during the healing period

  • You're committed to maintaining excellent oral hygiene


The best way to determine your suitability is through a comprehensive periodontal evaluation with our specialists, who will assess your specific needs and oral health status.



Is guided tissue regeneration permanent?


The results of guided tissue regeneration performed at London Dental Specialists can be long-lasting, but their permanence depends significantly on your oral hygiene practices and overall dental care. Successfully regenerated bone and tissue can remain stable for many years or even a lifetime with proper maintenance. However, ongoing periodontal disease, poor oral hygiene, smoking, or certain medical conditions can compromise the results over time. Regular professional cleanings, excellent home care, and periodic periodontal maintenance visits are essential to preserve the benefits of your GTR procedure indefinitely.



What are the risks or side effects of guided tissue regeneration?


Guided tissue regeneration at London Dental Specialists is generally safe when performed by our experienced periodontists. Potential side effects include:



  • Temporary swelling, bruising, and minor bleeding at the surgical site

  • Discomfort or pain during the initial healing period

  • Tooth sensitivity, particularly to hot or cold

  • Gum recession in some cases


More serious but rare complications could include infection, allergic reaction to membrane materials, or inadequate tissue regeneration. Our specialists use advanced techniques and follow strict protocols to minimise these risks. We carefully review your medical history and provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.



How should I care for my mouth after guided tissue regeneration?


After guided tissue regeneration at London Dental Specialists, follow these aftercare instructions:



  1. Take all prescribed antibiotics and pain medications as directed

  2. Apply ice packs externally to the affected area for 20 minutes on/off to reduce swelling

  3. Rinse gently with prescribed antimicrobial mouthwash after 24 hours

  4. Avoid brushing the treated area for the first week (or as advised)

  5. Eat soft, cool foods and avoid chewing on the treated side

  6. Do not smoke or use tobacco products as this significantly impairs healing

  7. Avoid strenuous physical activity for at least 3-5 days

  8. Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for membrane removal (if non-resorbable) and healing assessment


Our team will provide you with detailed, personalized instructions and be available to address any concerns during your recovery period.
