Are Your Gums
Pulling Away or Feeling Unstable?

We restore strength where tissue has weakened—gently, with proven regenerative treatment.

Gum disease and bacterial infections can damage the bone and gum tissue that support your teeth. When left untreated, this can cause instability, receding gums, discomfort, and even tooth loss. It’s natural to feel worried when your oral health seems to be declining.

At Woodinville Periodontics & Implant Specialists, we address both the cause and the damage. This may begin with deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, and oral antibiotics when infection has occurred. When significant bone loss is present, Dr. Demetri Ginosatis uses guided tissue regeneration to encourage new bone growth and restore strong support. Our approach is gentle, collaborative, and always centered on your comfort and long-term health.

Issues that guided tissue regeneration can help address:

  • Progression of advanced periodontal disease
  • Restoring lost bone around natural teeth
  • Treating bone defects and deep gum pockets
  • Supporting dental implants when the bone is thin or weakened
  • Helping prevent tooth loss caused by gum disease

There is a predictable, compassionate path forward—and we’ll guide you through it with clarity and steady support.

How Guided Tissue
Regeneration Helps You Heal

A comfortable, effective treatment that supports
your natural teeth and protects long-term overall health.

Protect Your Natural Teeth

By rebuilding bone where gum disease has caused loss, this treatment helps stabilize your teeth and protect them from loosening. This greatly reduces the risk of future tooth loss, allowing you to maintain your natural smile for years to come.

Support Dental Implants

Healthy bone is essential for implants to heal securely. Guided tissue regeneration can be combined with bone grafting to encourage strong bone growth, giving implants a stable and long-lasting foundation.

Stop Further Damage

`Gum disease can quietly lead to deep pockets that cause pain, bad breath, infection, and bone loss. This procedure helps seal these pockets, limit bacteria, reduce inflammation, and protect your overall health from worsening periodontal conditions.

Encourage Natural Healing

This technique works with your body’s own healing response. A small barrier membrane allows time for new bone growth and connective tissue repair, creating healthy, lasting structural support without unnecessary surgical intervention.

What Is Guided Tissue Regeneration

A gentle, conservative approach to help rebuild the hard and soft tissues of your smile.

A team of doctors looks out from behind the cabinets

Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a specialized periodontal procedure used to treat damage caused by gum disease, trauma, or infection. At Woodinville Periodontics & Implant Specialists, right here in Woodinville, WA this approach helps restore supportive structures that keep your teeth stable and healthy.

When periodontal disease, known as periodontitis, progresses, it can create bone defects near the tooth roots. During the procedure, Dr. Demetri Ginosatis places a special biocompatible barrier membrane over the affected area. This membrane acts as a physical barrier, preventing faster-growing gum tissue from filling the space too quickly and giving the slower-growing bone time to regenerate. Often, bone grafting is used to support the healing process and encourage strong, natural bone growth.

Contact our periodontist in Woodinville, WA today to schedule your consultation and restore lost support, stabilize your teeth, and create a healthier, stronger foundation for both natural teeth and future dental implants.

The Process of Guided
Tissue Regeneration in Woodinville, WA

We break down the procedure for restoring your soft
and bone tissue to ensure you feel informed and comfortable.

Your treatment experience is designed to feel clear and supportive from start to finish. Dr. Ginosatis will walk you through each step so you always feel prepared and confident. Our approach ensures that we respond promptly to your needs.

Step 1:
Personalized Assessment

First, we use detailed imaging to evaluate your teeth, gum inflammation (gingivitis), any gum disease, and specific bone defects and bone loss. We’ll also review your medical history for contributing factors, like diabetes and heart disease. Dr. Ginosatis will create a personalized treatment plan that may include an initial deep cleaning or oral antibiotics if a severe bacterial infection is present. We will answer all your questions so you feel completely ready for your periodontal surgery. The treatment depends on the severity and specific stage of your condition.

Step 2:
Tissue Regeneration Procedure

During the procedure, the infected area is carefully cleaned, and any harmful bacteria or tartar are removed. Then, a suitable barrier membrane is placed over the bone defect, and if needed, bone grafting material may be placed to encourage stable healing and new bone growth. The whole procedure is done under gentle and profound local anesthesia, with multiple sedation options available if necessary for extra comfort. We ensure excellent performance security throughout the procedure.

Step 3:
Healing and Follow-Up Care

We provide clear aftercare guidance, including tips to maintain good oral hygiene, and Dr. Ginosatis will follow up with you one-on-one to ensure your recovery is smooth, with minimal to no pain. We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and ensure the area is successfully regenerating the necessary bone support for your tooth or future implant placement. You may require additional antibiotics during this time.

You’re never alone in this process. We check in often, explain everything, and make sure you feel supported, comfortable, and confident throughout treatment and recovery for years to come.
