Guided Tissue Regeneration
In Torrance, CA

Guided tissue regeneration is a treatment used to rebuild lost bone and create a healthy foundation for future dental implants. When bone loss occurs due to gum disease, infection, trauma, or long-standing tooth loss, the jaw may become too narrow or too short to support an implant. This treatment helps restore what has been lost so you can move forward with confidence. At Peninsula Oral Surgery and Implants in Torrance, CA, guided tissue regeneration is approached with careful planning, precision, and a strong focus on your long-term success. The goal is not just replacing missing bone, but helping you regain comfort, function, and confidence in your smile.

Why Choose Guided Tissue Regeneration at Peninsula Oral Surgery and Implants?

Guided tissue regeneration offers you the opportunity to become a candidate for dental implants when bone loss would otherwise limit your options. This treatment supports your ability to eat comfortably, smile naturally, and maintain long-term oral health. At Peninsula Oral Surgery and Implants, every case is approached with the same level of care and respect, whether you are missing one tooth or several. Treatment decisions are guided by your goals and comfort, not by doing surgery for its own sake. By rebuilding bone properly before implant placement, this approach helps support lasting results and reduces the risk of future complications.

The Benefits of Guided Tissue Regeneration

Creates a Strong Foundation for Implants

Guided tissue regeneration rebuilds bone where it has been lost, allowing implants to be placed securely. A strong bone foundation supports proper positioning and stability. This helps implants function naturally and last longer.

Improves Long-Term Implant Success

When bone shape and volume are corrected before implant placement, implants can be placed at the ideal angle and depth. This reduces issues like hygiene challenges, mechanical stress, and inflammation around implants. The result is greater comfort and reliability over time.

Restores Confidence and Options

Bone loss can limit your treatment choices and impact how you feel about your smile. Rebuilding bone opens the door to implant treatment and restores balance to your jaw. This can improve both appearance and confidence in everyday life.

What to Expect From Guided Tissue Regeneration

Personalized Consultation and Planning

Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation focused on understanding your goals and oral health needs. During this visit, your bone levels, dental history, and overall health are carefully evaluated. You’ll learn whether guided tissue regeneration is appropriate and how it fits into your long-term plan. This is also a time to address concerns, discuss comfort options, and set clear expectations, so you feel confident and informed before moving forward.

Bone Regeneration Procedure

During the procedure, bone grafting materials and protective membranes are used to encourage your body to form new bone. Careful surgical techniques help shape the bone to support future implant placement. While the procedure involves tissue manipulation, your comfort is a priority throughout. After treatment, it’s normal to experience swelling that increases over the first few days, levels off briefly, and then gradually improves as healing progresses.

Healing and Preparation for Implants

Healing after guided tissue regeneration takes time, typically six to nine months, as new bone forms and strengthens. You’ll receive detailed instructions on oral hygiene, diet, and activity to support recovery. Follow-up visits allow progress to be monitored and ensure healing is on track. Once the bone is ready, implant placement can be planned with confidence, helping support durable, long-term results you can rely on.

I would highly recommend this office. The staff are friendly and the oral surgeons are top notch. They don't try to sell you on procedures that aren't necessary and are very professional and thorough during the whole process. I had a dental implant inserted and two wisdom teeth pulled. I felt so at ease just before surgery because they were so friendly and warm. They performed the extractions and insertion effectively and was feeling fine afterwards. They called the next day to check on me. Through our the whole process, they patiently explained everything to me and didn't move on until I was fully informed. I was surprised that they sent me a check back when they discovered, on their own, that they over charged me.

I had a follow up appointment yesterday at Peninsula Oral Surgery after having an unrepairable tooth pulled and a bone graft done in October. Everything is going well. Everyone there couldn't be nicer. I feel very much at ease there and I feel confident in my care and treatment. Every aspect of my care from billing to my treatments are explained thoroughly. I am very satisfied with Peninsula Oral Surgery.Follow up: I just had my final appointment there yesterday to test if my implant is stable so that I can get my crown. I am happy to say that everything went well and my regular dentist will be putting in my new crown when it is made and ready. Everyone was so nice and helpful and they went out of their way to make the experience as pleasant as possible.

Dr Nguyen and his entire staff were knowledgeable and friendly and took time to explain all of the details of my procedure, answered all of my questions and kept me updated throughout the procedure. They gave me comprehensive and easily understood post op instructions and called me a few hours after so went home to be sure there were no problems. The whole team was great

My daughter had her wisdom teeth pull here this week. Went very smoothly. The nurses were gentle, caring, and friendly. They let her take as much time as needed in recovery room. I felt she was well cared for. Clean, nice facility. They used a blood procedure to speed up the recovery process.

Geraldine Trivedi

I took my son to see Dr Nguyen for a consultation regarding his wisdom teeth, per our dentist recommendation. The office is very nice and the staff super nice. They explain everything to you through the whole process, so that you understand the choices you have and the pros and cons involved. They were all very open to answering any and every question you have. My son really likes the process so far and fingers crossed when he goes to get the wisdom teeth pulled. So far, we have full confidence in them!

Dr. Nguyen and the entire team at Peninsula Oral Surgery were fantastic at providing complete answers to my many questions about getting a dental implant.

I suffer from extreme anxiety and panic attacks when it comes to any type of doctor visits. The day of my wisdom teeth removal, my anxiety was through the roof! The young surgeon walks in, full of positive confidence and put all my troubles at ease in less than three seconds! I wake up and all 5 teeth 🦷 removed, with no pain at all! This place is beyond amazing and whenever I need any major oral surgeries, this is the place for me, no question! The staff was amazing as well…. RESPECT 🫡 AND LOVE ❤️

When I arrived at the dentist office I was very anxious because I’m getting an implant and had developed an infection in the tooth. The dental staff was so pleasant and professional that I immediately felt more relaxed. My procedure was explained to me step by step even demonstrating the dental tools they planned to use. My doctor, Dr Nguyen is an amazing doctor and a kind person. He removed the infection with so much compassion and saved my implant.The whole team is awesome. I would definitely recommend Peninsula Oral Surgery to anyone even my own family.

Marius Dylka

Love Dr. Nguyen! He is very skilled and has great bedside manner. I had to have an implant redone (from a different previous surgeon) and he accomplished what feels like a miracle. I am so grateful to have found him and his office.

Nancy

So organized. They took me right away, since I checked in online there was nothing for me to fill out when i arrived so that is unusual but in an awesome way. Was like clockwork, x-rays, talked with the assistant then the Doc. Then the front desk explained everything to me and the cost of everything so I wouldn't be blindsided like other offices. Just a great experience at the office for something like extractions and implants that sounds painful. Thank you team.

John Ambrosi

Dr. Omoto is excellent. Office friendly and efficient. Have had 3 separate procedures there all with excellent outcomes.

Andres Jimenez

So happy that my dentist told me about Dr. Nyugen. Wonderful bedside manner. Dr Nyugen will explain the procedure thoroughly and make sure he’s answered every question you have. I had a dental implant and it went smoothly. About 40 minutes total. Would highly recommend his services.

Laurence Yarosh

Very professional, caring and friendly. Exceeded my expectations. Educated me to make the best choice. Followed up call after my procedure I highly recommend PENINSULA ORAL SURGERY & IMPLANTS.

Lori Grim

I so much appreciated Peninsula Oral Surgery’s care! My 98-year old mother needed a root extraction. Dr. Nguyen and all support people were expedient, kind, responsive and amazingly, wonderfully competent. Mom had no significant swelling or pain, nor need for antibiotics (something she never reacts to well). I took her to her nearby, regular dentist one week later to make sure that her healing process was going as expected as, because of severe short-term memory loss, she has trouble understanding and expressing how she is feeling. I can’t thank Peninsula Oral Surgery enough for the way this problem was resolved.

Leslie Burkhardt

I was very impressed with Peninsula Oral Surgery & Implants! I'm so pleased that my periodontist referred me there. The entire staff, from the front office, consultation team, as well as the surgical team are very efficient, friendly, and caring. I owe a huge thanks to Dr. Omoto and Tanya for the removal of 2 wisdom teeth. They both guided me through the entire procedure and assured I wasn't experiencing any discomfort. Thank you Giselle for the follow up phone call a few hours after my surgery. My recovery at home was GREAT!!! I had no pain at all and did not need to take any prescribed medication! Thank you again, Dr. Omoto and staff! What a positive experience!I highly recommend Peninsula Oral Surgery & Implants office.
