Avoid Tooth Loss With a Gum Grafting Procedure
Your gums play an important role in your smile, part of which is keeping your teeth in place. They also protect your body from harmful bacteria getting into your bloodstream. When you visit our practice, we are always mindful of your whole body health as we treat your smile. Dr. Gordon will focus on restoring your gum health first and eliminating the infection that's causing the disease.
If disease has caused your gums to recede, the next step is replenishing your gumline. You don't want to leave your tooth roots exposed because it may lead to further infection. You also risk losing teeth if you neglect this necessary step in reviving your gum health.
A gum grafting procedure restores your gumline using either your own tissue or donor tissue. While it's understandable to feel nervous, you don't have anything to fear. We keep you comfortable with:
- Sedation options including laughing gas, oral sedation, IV sedation, or even general anesthesia, if necessary
- Advanced technology such as digital X-rays and intraoral cameras, which help us plan your procedure
- Modern techniques that focus on giving you the best possible treatment and ideal results
Don't neglect your oral health! See if gum grafts in Oxnard are right for your smile by calling Anacapa Dental Art Institute today for an appointment. You can also schedule online if you prefer.
Common Questions About Gum Grafts
How do gum grafts work?
If your gums recede due to gum disease or other factors, your tooth roots can be exposed. This causes uncomfortable sensitivity to hot and cold substances. It also makes you more susceptible to dental decay and other problems and can even result in losing teeth. To avoid these issues, we can remove tissue from another part of your mouth and transfer it to your gums during a grafting procedure.
Are gum grafts worth it?
Gum grafts are worth it because they keep your teeth intact. You can avoid the cost and hassle of replacing lost teeth. Since you can't get dental implants without healthy gums, your tooth replacement options would also be limited without a gum graft. A gum graft can also restore the appearance of a smile that has receding gums and exposed tooth roots.
Are gum grafts safe?
We don't perform gum grafts for just anyone. We will ensure you are a good candidate for grafting first. Your dentist will take images and perform a thorough examination to make sure your oral health is good before recommending this procedure. Dr. Gordon is a periodontist, a dentist with specialized education and training in gum health.
