Periodontal Plastic Surgery
Soft Tissue Grafting
Periodontal procedures are
available to stop further dental
problems, gum recession and
to improve the esthetics of your
gum line.
Exposed tooth roots are the result of gum recession. Perhaps you wish to enhance your smile by covering one or more of these roots that make your teeth appear too long. Or, maybe you're not bothered by the appearance of these areas, but you cringe because the exposed roots are sensitive to hot or cold foods and liquids.
Your gums may have receded for a variety of reasons, including aggressive tooth brushing or periodontal disease. You may not be in control of what caused the recession, but prior to treatment Drs. Hakimi/Ahmad will help you identify those factors contributing to the problem. Once they are controlled, a soft tissue graft procedure will repair the defect and help to prevent additional recession and bone loss.
What are the benefits of this procedure?
A soft tissue graft can reduce further recession and bone loss. In some cases, it can cover exposed roots to protect them from decay; this may reduce tooth sensitivity and improve esthetics of your smile. A beautiful new smile and improved periodontal health are your keys to smiling, eating and speaking with comfort and confidence.
