Gum Regeneration in Rosslyn
Residents of Rosslyn, a bustling Arlington neighborhood with a dramatic skyline directly across the Key Bridge from Georgetown, now have convenient access to expert gum regeneration care at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in nearby Washington DC. Gum regeneration uses advanced biologic materials and surgical techniques to regrow gum tissue and bone that has been destroyed by periodontal disease, restoring the supportive structures around teeth.
We welcome patients from Rosslyn and surrounding areas to our Washington DC office, conveniently located about 8 minutes away. Periodontal disease destroys the bone and tissue that support teeth. Regeneration procedures can actually reverse some of this damage, potentially saving teeth that would otherwise need extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gum Regeneration FAQ for Rosslyn Patients
What is the difference between gum grafting and gum regeneration?
Gum grafting transplants tissue to cover exposed roots, while gum regeneration uses biologic growth factors (like Emdogain or platelet-rich fibrin) to stimulate your body's own cells to regrow lost periodontal attachment — including cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Regeneration aims to restore the original attachment apparatus.
Who is a candidate for gum regeneration procedures?
The best candidates have specific types of bone defects — typically narrow, vertical (intrabony) defects around teeth. Wide, horizontal bone loss responds less predictably. Non-smokers with good oral hygiene and controlled systemic health conditions have the highest success rates.
How long do gum regeneration results last?
When combined with diligent home care and regular periodontal maintenance visits, regenerated attachment can be maintained long-term. Studies show stable results beyond 10 years in compliant patients. However, failure to maintain proper hygiene or continued smoking can compromise regenerated tissues.
What growth factors or materials are used in regeneration?
Common biologics include enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain), platelet-derived growth factor (GEM 21S), platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) prepared from your own blood, and bone morphogenetic proteins. These are often combined with bone graft material and barrier membranes for optimal results.
