What is Guided Bone & Tissue Regeneration

What Is Guided Bone & Tissue Regeneration?

Guided bone and tissue regeneration is a procedure that encourages your body to regrow bone and soft tissue lost to periodontal disease, infection, or tooth extraction. Dr. Rodriguez places a specialized barrier membrane over the affected area to protect the healing site and direct new bone and tissue growth where it is needed most. This creates the healthy foundation required for successful, long-lasting dental implant placement.

Your Visit, Step by Step

Our Guided Bone & Tissue Regeneration Process

Here is what to expect, one step at a time.

Request a Consultation
Step One

Comprehensive Examination

Dr. Rodriguez uses advanced 3D imaging to assess the location and extent of bone and tissue loss and design a targeted regeneration plan.

Step Two

Site Preparation

The affected area is carefully cleaned and prepared, removing any infected or damaged tissue to create a healthy environment for new growth.

Step Three

Membrane Placement

A biocompatible barrier membrane is positioned over the defect, often alongside bone graft material, to guide regeneration and protect the healing site.

Step Four

Healing and Placement

Over the following months, new bone and tissue develop at the treated site, and Dr. Rodriguez monitors your progress before moving forward with implant placement.

Benefits of Guided Bone and Tissue Regeneration

Restored Ability for Implants

Patients who lack adequate bone or tissue for implants can rebuild the foundation needed for safe, stable placement.

Natural Healing

The barrier membrane guides your own cells to regenerate bone and tissue, producing results that integrate naturally with your existing anatomy.

Long-Term Success

A strong, well-developed bone base significantly improves the stability and longevity of implants placed after regeneration is complete.

Addresses Multiple Concerns

Dr. Rodriguez can treat localized defects around existing teeth or prepare larger areas of the jaw in a single, targeted procedure.

    Suzanne SchmidtGoogle review, March 2016

  • “I was a little skeptical at first - personal bias I guess. but, damn angel Rodriguez is good! I've gone to other periodontists on the west side and they did not have the skill and knowledge that this guy had. being trained as a dentist myself (although I never practiced) I can say dr. Rodriguez is unparalleled. besides that he's very nice to look at. makes me wish I was 50 years younger.”

    alex josephGoogle review, June 2025

  • “Dr. Rodriguez is a really great guy and so very wonderful in making me comfortable and well informed about the work he is going to do. Extremely professional in his demeanor and excellent at what he does. Also, very easy to get him on the phone post-procedure with any concerns or questions. And I had some pretty intense dental surgery and experienced no pain. I highly recommend him.”

  • “Fantastic first visit, everyone super friendly and helpful. Dr. Joan Otomo is really great at explaining everything each step of the way and both her and her assistant had many useful suggestions to practice at home. To say that I'm satisfied just doesn't seem to do them all justice. Kind, considerate professionals, all of them. I would give Perio Implant Health Professionals 10 stars if I could. ありがとうございます!”

  • “20 years of wonderful dental care. Everybody is nice to me. Professionalism that's off the charts! Rosa is great!!!”

    bob zoellGoogle review, January 2021

  • “Dr. J. Otomo is the Valhalla of medical scholarship! Her passion for whole-being health is matched only by her legacy as one of California's premiere leaders in the periodontal sciences. It doesn't hurt that shes as gentle as a feather and actually listens to her patients. DID I SAY IT DOESN'T HURT? THAT PART! Her willingness to be accessible to a patient is unprecedented in my experience. She is literally reachable by phone and returns calls. Her staff is a powerhouse of professional femmes who don't miss a beat and greet you like they actually mean it. We were both on time for our appointment, and the fee (w/out) insurance was comparatively reasonable. I wish she did Dermatology, Gastro Intestinal and Travel Medicine, shes equipped for Shamanic health praxis!!!! If your focus is periodontal health, start here🔝. If she cant resolve it, or address it, she has access and credibility with who can. I enjoyed the visit and left empowered with new knowledge! 5 stars on toast, WITH JAM! They all invited to the bbq, 👊🏾😁”

To top it off, Dr. Otomo and Esmeralda were so fun and personable! There are very few times when I say I’m ready to see the dentist, but this is one of those times! Great dentistry!”

    Roshan KindredGoogle review, July 2018

  • “Dr. Otomo is great! Clear, concise, and warm and like an old friend. She was recommended by another dental office because of her expertise.....and that expertise shows in every respect, including her wonderful personality.”

    Ashley MorrisonGoogle review, September 2017

  • “Dr. Otomo and her team are fantastic - It's nice to be able to relax in the chair knowing they will be efficient, thorough and painless!”

    Joseph UngocoGoogle review, June 2017

  • “I've had nothing but positive, informative and excellent encounters with Dr. Otomo over the years. She recently extracted a number of teeth and completed several bone grafts to support future dental implants. By following her recommended treatment plan and routine maintenance procedures, I've experienced an improvement in my overall health and sense of well-being. I could not have chosen a more experienced, kind and caring dental health professional and support team to help me experience the confidence that comes with good oral health.”
