Following this, we develop a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. The procedure involves the careful placement of a specialised barrier membrane to facilitate natural 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You may be a good candidate for guided tissue regeneration at London Dental Specialists if:
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.
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.
Guided tissue regeneration at London Dental Specialists is generally safe when performed by our experienced periodontists. Potential side effects include:
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.
