Your bone and gum tissue should fit snugly around your teeth. When you have periodontal disease, this supporting tissue and bone are destroyed and pockets develop. Eventually, if too much bone is lost, the teeth will be lost. Dr. Horowitz may recommend a regenerative procedure to reverse some of the damage by regenerating lost bone and gum tissue. There are many options to enhance support for your teeth and to restore your bone to a healthy level. Dr Horowitz will review these options with you.
