Discover effective treatments for gum recession at our multidisciplinary practice led by Dr. John Koutsoyiannis, where a biologic approach to dentistry ensures the highest quality results. With an in-office state-of-the-art laboratory and our collaborative dental treatment team consisting of periodontists, prosthodontists, cosmetic and general dentists, including Board-certified periodontist, Lea Planzos, DMD, MS, we offer compelling solutions for gum recession, including gum grafting.
Gum grafting involves transplanting healthy gum tissue to areas experiencing recession, protecting exposed tooth roots and enhancing your smile. Whether utilizing donor tissue or innovative allografting techniques, our periodontists tailor gum grafting to address individual needs, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Ideal candidates for gum grafting are those seeking to treat receding gums. A comprehensive oral evaluation determines suitability. Local anesthesia ensures comfort as the periodontist meticulously grafts tissue to restore gum health.
By addressing gum recession with grafting, patients not only improve the aesthetics of their smile but also enhance gum health, reduce tooth sensitivity, and prevent further recession and potential tooth loss. Our team provides personalized care and support to ensure optimal outcomes.
During gum grafting surgery, the periodontist first administers local anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort. Once numb, tissue is carefully harvested from the donor site, often from the roof of the mouth or using donor tissue material. This healthy tissue is then skillfully placed over the areas of gum recession, covering exposed roots and encouraging new tissue growth. After securing the graft with sutures, an antibacterial rinse is applied to cleanse and soothe the surgical sites.
Throughout the procedure, meticulous attention is given to ensure precise placement and comprehensive coverage of the affected areas. Techniques may vary depending on the type of gum grafting performed, such as free gingival or connective tissue grafts, tailored to meet individual needs. Typically completed within about an hour, this process offers an effective solution for addressing gum recession and promoting a healthier gumline.
