GUM GRAFTS
We offer the most advanced soft tissue
grafting techniques for safe and effective management of gum defects.
A lot of these procedures were developed by Dr. Madison with the goal of
achieving optimum results, with total patient comfort and satisfactionExposed 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 we can help you identify the factors
contributing to the problem. Once these contributing factors are
controlled, a soft tissue graft procedure will repair the defect and
help to prevent additional recession and bone loss. |

| Soft tissue
grafts can be used to cover roots or develop gum tissue where absent due
to excessive gingival recession. During this procedure, a small strip of
gum tissue is taken from your palate or another donor source to cover the
exposed root. This can be done for one tooth or several teeth to even your
gum line and reduce sensitivity. Unique techniques perfected by Dr.
Madison can correct most gum defects effectively, and comfortably.
These techniques are very gentle by their nature, and cause minimal
discomfort, or disruption of your routines. |
| KEY
BENEFITS |
| 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. Whether you have a
graft to improve function or esthetics, patients often receive the
benefits of both: a beautiful new smile and improved periodontal health
– your keys to smiling, eating and speaking with comfort and
confidence.
