Guided Tissue Regeneration
Guided Tissue Regeneration
Dr. Franck Page frequently utilizes Guided Tissue Regeneration techniques in implantology and restorative dental procedures.
These regenerative techniques not only improve the structural foundations in restorative dentistry but also aid in ensuring the best possible aesthetic outcomes can be achieved.
What is guided tissue regeneration?
Guided tissue regeneration consists of specialised techniques used to restore damaged or lost gum and soft tissues, periodontal tissues, and supporting bone.
These procedures are designed to promote the regeneration of healthy tissue and supporting foundations for dental restorations, as well as to help deliver highly aesthetic outcomes by allowing us to build or enhance soft tissue profiles.
Some of these techniques include:
- Connective tissue grafting
- Bone grafting /socket preservation
- Gum grafting
- Ridge augmentation
- Sinus augmentation/grafting
These procedures often involve the use of a collagen or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane. The membrane is placed between the bone and the soft tissues as part of the augmentation process. This acts as a physical barrier preventing the growth of unwanted tissues (such as scar tissue) whilst allowing the development of bone, gingiva, and periodontal ligaments as part of the tissue regeneration process.
Dr. Franck Page’s meticulous attention to detail and aesthetically driven treatment approach underpins his commitment to refining even the smallest aspects of care. By dedicating extra effort to cosmetically augment tissues alongside functional treatment planning, he ensures the delivery of nothing but the best possible outcomes for each patient.
At Dental Implants & Aesthetics, we adopt a comprehensive and collaborative approach to patient treatment planning. We develop customised treatment plans to deliver high-quality, long-lasting results that meet the unique needs of every individual.
Before and Afters
Guided Tissue Regeneration Cases
Guided Tissue Regeneration
Before
This patient presented with a missing central incisor (front tooth), following extraction after a bike accident overseas. There was a bony defect as result of the tooth extraction.
After
Soft tissue grafting was completed to regenerate this area of soft tissue and address the existing defect. This process helps to improve the aesthetic outcome around the final bridgework, and allow for moulded gingival margins; allowing a seamless relationship between the gum line and the prosthesis.

Guided Tissue Regeneration Cases
Guided Tissue Regeneration
Before
This patient presented with a missing central incisor (front tooth), which had been missing for quite some time. There was a large bony defect as result of the tooth extraction
After
Bone and soft tissue grafting was completed as part of the treatment process for this patient to address the visible defect. It is clear from the image to see the 'regeneration' of tissue that was achieved for this patient. An amazing result, which allowed us to deliver the best possible aesthetic outcome, and foundation for the final prosthesis

Guided Tissue Regeneration Cases
Guided Tissue Regeneration
Before
This patient presented with a bone deficiency in the lower jaw following the extraction of the existing tooth, which had been missing for some time.
After
We underwent bone grafting procedure for this patient, and also placed a titanium reinforced membrane to enhance the bone profile. This allowed us to create a stable foundation prior to implant placement.
