If your gums recede well below your natural gum line, you may be at risk for developing painful cavities and gum disease below the gum line. Deep pockets that form around the gum line from gum disease are treatable but too much damage may require gum grafting to restore the tissue. Treating gum recession before it causes too much damage is essential for keeping your smile healthy and in good shape. Our dental experts use some of the latest gum grafting techniques and proven protocols to treat gum recession without the need for extensive surgery. We can use laser technology to reshape the gum line and create a more attractive smile, effectively reversing the effects of gum recession.

Minimally Invasive Gum Grafting Procedures
The latest advances in laser dentistry allow us to perform gum grafting as a minimally invasive procedure. The procedure may involve taking a small flap of tissue from elsewhere in the mouth or a donor source and attaching it to the areas where the gums have receded. This is fairly easy to do with a soft tissue laser and our dental experts have extensive experience performing this procedure to reshape and restore the gum line. If you have any symptoms of gum recession don’t hesitate to contact us!
