Treatment
Gum graft services
Several gum-graft types exist. Depending on the procedure, the surgery is done under local or general anesthesia — your dentist will guide the choice.
Periodontics
Custom graft
Traditional gingival graft — used to address gum recession or to cover an exposed root that risks leading to decay or sensitivity.
Predisposing factors: alveolar bone shape, misaligned dentition, thin gum tissue, aging. External factors: aggressive or improper brushing, bruxism, ill-fitting restorations.
AlloDerm (allogeneic) graft — unlike an autogenous graft (using the patient's own tissue), an allogeneic graft uses tissue from a donor. This type is often used to address gum loss in patients with recession. Benefits: a single surgical site (recipient only), several sections treated at once, no scar at the surgical site, very little post-operative discomfort, and a highly esthetic result.
