As the gums beginto recess due to disease, our bodies lose a natural defense mechanism that once protected us from bacterial penetration and trauma. If you are suffering from recessed gums, NobelPeriocan help with a procedure known as gum grafting.

If only a minor recession is present and some healthy gingivaremains, treatment may only include the alteration of your at-home oral hygiene routine. But if the recessionhas reached the mucosa, the first line of defense against bacterial penetration is lost.

Gum recession often results in sensitivity to cold and hot foods or beverages and an unsightly gum and tooth appearance. When gum recession is severe, the soft particles of the root surface may become exposed, leading to cavities and root gouging.

A gingival gum graft at NobelPerio can help solve these problems. During the procedure, a thin portion of tissue is removed from the roof of the mouth (ortaken from adjacent areas) to provide a new, stable band of gum surface around the tooth. The grafts are most often used to cover the exposed section of the tooth's root, providing protection against bacteria.

When gum tissue is too thick, covering the tooth surface and making the teeth appear too short, a gingivectomy may be necessary or recommended. This may be caused by medication, ajawbone that extends too close to the surface of the teeth, or inflammation from periodontaldisease.
