Gum Grafting Restores Health and Appearance to Your Smile
Patients often visit our office with concerns over smile changes due to gum recession. When gum tissues recede, they pull away from the teeth and reveal the underlying root surfaces. This creates unfavorable effects, leaving behind an uneven gum line, yellow discoloration near the gum line, longer-looking teeth and an overall aging smile. However, gum recession causes more than just these esthetic changes. Tooth sensitivity, root decay and structural damage all threaten your oral health and comfort when gum recession occurs. As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Robert Faiella excels in reversing the effects of gum recession with proven gum grafting in Duxbury and Osterville, MA. He has over 31 years of experience in soft tissue grafting and advanced periodontal care and is the specialist many dentists and patients trust to restore health and appearance to their smiles.
Our Gum Grafting Process
Gum grafting is an advanced periodontal technique that offers proven, long-term success for repairing gum recession. To perform gum grafting, Dr. Faiella harvests healthy gum tissue from your own mouth or other biocompatible source. He then precisely positions these tissue samples over root surfaces where gum recession has occurred. Once sutured in place, the newly added gum tissues heal and blend seamlessly with surrounding gums. Gum grafting effectively positions receded gums to a healthier level on the teeth, resulting in an attractive, even smile line.
Benefits of Gum Grafting:
- Restores esthetics in the smile zone
- Minimizes tooth sensitivity
- Protects root surfaces from damage
- Reduces the incidence of tooth loss
- Creates a more youthful, attractive smile
