BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Root surfaces of the teeth can become exposed when the gums pulls back from tooth surface.  This causes loss of gum tissue, a condition known as gingival recession or gum recession.
what causes gingival recession
A number of factors can cause gum recession.  Some of the common causes are:
  • poor oral hygiene
  • aggressive brushing over long period of time
  • improper brushing technique
  • brushing with medium or hard bristled toothbrush
  • smoking
  • thin gingiva
  • malpositioned teeth
Recession exposes the root surface of a tooth, possibly making the teeth sensitive, more prone to decay, and uncomfortable when eating or brushing .  The appearance of "longer" teeth can make you look older and your smile less attractive.  Teeth can fall out if recession is not treated.
What is soft tissue grafting
Soft tissue grafting is a simple surgical procedure which can correct gum recession.  The procedure involves taking a healthy piece of gum tissue from nearby area of recession or from the roof of the mouth and attaching it to the area with gum loss.  It is a rather quick procedure and you will be dismissed right after the procedure is done.
​
Soft tissue grafting creates a new protective barrier, covering the exposed root and resisting further bone loss, sensitivity, and decay.  It can be done for one or several teeth to straighten the gum line and improve the appearance of your smile.
