Guided Bone & Tissue Regeneration Gaithersburg MD
Gum disease has traditionally been treated by eliminating the gum pockets by trimming away the infected gum tissue and by re-contouring the uneven bone tissue. Although this is still an effective way of treating gum disease, new and more sophisticated procedures are used routinely today. One of these advancements is guided bone regeneration, also referred to as guided tissue regeneration. This procedure is used to stabilize endangered teeth or to prepare the jaw for dental implants.
As periodontal disease progresses, pockets of degenerated bone develop in the jaw. These pockets can promote the growth of bacteria and the spread of infection. To address these pockets, Dr. Hadeed may recommend tissue regeneration. During this surgical procedure, the pockets are cleaned thoroughly, and a membrane is installed between the soft tissue and the pocket in the bone. Some of these membranes are bio-absorbable and some require removal. The membrane covers the pocket so that fast-growing soft tissue is blocked, and slower-growing bone can begin to grow, or “regenerate” itself.

Patient Testimonial
What an exceptional trio of Dr. Hadeed, Tracie, and Thalma – or rather, an exceptional family. From the moment I stepped into their practice, I felt embraced as part of their close-knit unit. Facing numerous complex dental issues, I approached Dr. Hadeed with apprehension. However, at every juncture of my treatment and recovery, Dr. Hadeed's reassuring demeanor instilled confidence in me. Through three oral surgeries, addressing bone grafting due to periodontal bone loss and extraction of troublesome wisdom teeth, Dr. Hadeed's surgical expertise shone brilliantly. Tracie, with her gentle and supportive assistance during each surgery, aided in calming my nerves at every stage. Their dedication extended beyond the operating room, with thoughtful evening check-ins via texts or calls to ensure my well-being. Tracie's proficiency as a Dental Hygienist elevated my dental cleaning experience to a new level. Dr. Hadeed meticulously explained post-operative care, underscoring their commitment to my holistic dental health. Choosing Dr. Hadeed based on the glowing testimonials of fellow patients was undoubtedly a wise decision. I'm sharing my "Love at First Visit" encounter here, aspiring to provide fellow patients like me with a valuable point of reference.

Dr Hadeed, Tracey, and Frieda are an incredible team. Their knowledge, state of the art equipment, expertise, and personal touches made my experiences worry free. I have had problem teeth all of my life and going to any dental professional caused me great anxiety. Dr. Hadeed has performed several procedures on me, to include tooth extractions and preparing me for implant replacement using regeneration materials, bone, and collagen. My experiences were amazingly stress free! The Hadeeds are wonderful people interested in helping and healing their patients to the very best of their abilities.

Patient Testimonial
I was referred to Dr. Hadeed by my general dentist because of my advanced periodontal disease. After an in depth thorough examination and diagnosis, Dr. Hadeed performed several periodontal surgical procedures involving bone grafting to help save my teeth and bring my gums back to health. My mother had periodontal disease and I strongly feel that her untreated gum disease was a direct contributing risk factor to her demise from heart disease, as the medical and dental profession did not understand the link between them in the past the way they do now! So, needless to say, I in essence feel that my overall general health has drastically improved due to my periodontal treatment. Dr. Hadeed is an exceptionally skilled and kind periodontist. I might also add that his surgical assistant Tracie, who is also my dental hygienist, is remarkable as well. What a pleasure it is to be taken care of by a compassionate and dedicated team!

I want to thank you and Tracie for taking such good tender loving care of my daughter. I told her that it is a blessing to be in your care. You are such a spiritual and loving person, as is Tracie. And all those who you take care of are luckier than they ever realize.
