If periodontal (gum) disease has progressed to the advanced stages, you might develop gum recession. At Diamond Dentistry, part of your gum disease treatment may consist of gum grafting to restore tissue to your gumline.
What Are the Benefits of Gum Grafting?
- Preserves unprotected roots: Protects the fragile roots of teeth from external circumstances
- Elevates aesthetic: Results in a more consistent and delightful gum line
- Blocks continued recession: Balances the tissue, hindering further recession
- Minimizes the possibility of tooth loss
- Optimizes oral wellness: May reduce the chance of root cavities
Am I A Good Candidate?
Most commonly, gums grafts are performed to fix gum recession caused by gum (periodontal) disease. Other reasons include aggressive brushing, frequent teeth grinding (bruxism), and dental misalignment.
What to Expect with Gum Grafting
There are various types of gum grafts that will be selected based on your individual needs. Connective tissue grafts are the most common type. A free gingival graft takes more tissue from the roof of your mouth. A pedicle graft removes extra gum tissue from one area to where you need coverage.
