Gum Graft

HAVE YOU NOTICED RECESSION OF YOUR GUMS?

Sometimes to prevent gum and bone loss or to regenerate lost tissue gum grafts are needed. Gum recession is when the gum tissue pulls away and exposes the tooth and root surfaces, causing an elongated appearance. Gum recession can also become extremely painful as more and more of your tooth and root become exposed. Eventually, if not taken care of, gum recession can cause extensive damage to your bone structure, and can actually result in tooth loss due to a loss of support.

Gum recession is a gradual process that stems from advanced stages of gum disease or improper bite or aggressive tooth brushing. Your tooth will begin to suffer from extreme sensitivity, an unattractive smile, and possible tooth loss. We can prevent any of this from occurring by protecting the recessed area with a gum graft.

The gums will not only look different after surgery but may feel tighter and firmer too, giving you the satisfaction of a healthier mouth.
