Receding Gums Treatment with Gum Grafting Procedures

Gum grafts restore the gum line

Effective Gum Recession Treatment

If you have been treated with gum disease but now are concerned about receding gums, talk to us about gum recession treatment with a traditional gum graft. We offer a variety of treatment options at our practice and strive to restore your beautiful smile with minimal trauma to the tissues. Gum recession may be making you feel self-conscious about your appearance but there are treatment options available to effectively restore your natural gum line and enhance your smile.

Signs of Receding Gums

Gum recession is just one of the side effects of progressing gum disease and may also be an outcome of periodontal disease. Sensitive teeth, exposed roots, teeth that look larger than normal, and a notch that forms around the gum line are some of the common signs of gum recession. We can determine the extent of gum recession during your consultation.

Why Do Gums Recede?

Periodontal Disease

Gum disease is caused by bacteria that destroy gum tissue. Untreated gum disease can cause the gums to recede from the teeth as the infection spreads.

Teeth Grinding or Clenching

Clenching or grinding of the teeth, both when asleep or awake, can put too much force on the teeth and gums. This can cause the gums to recede.

Aggressive Tooth Brushing

Those who brush their teeth aggressively or in the wrong way can cause the enamel on the tooth wear away and the gums to recede.

Tobacco Use

Tobacco users are likely to have a sticky plaque on their teeth that can be difficult to properly remove. This can cause gum recession.

Gum Grafting Procedures

There are three types of gum grafting surgery procedures: connective tissue grafts, free gingival grafts, and pedicle grafts. The type of procedure we perform will depend on the degree of gum disease and the extent of gum recession you have. Once the tissue has been grafted and attached to the gum line, it typically takes a few weeks for the gums to heal completely and form your new gum line.
