Gum grafting: an excellent solution for covering recessions
Thanks to gum grafting, an advanced periodontal procedure, we address our patients’ gum recession. Mostly caused by aggressive brushing, genetic predisposition, or periodontitis, it puts the tooth roots at risk, making them increasingly sensitive and vulnerable to potential worsening.
For this reason, it is essential to intervene as soon as possible and rely on an experienced periodontist. Gum transplantation is an advanced periodontal procedure that requires careful evaluation and significant surgical skill.
We treat this daily in our Milan dental practice, ensuring remarkable aesthetic and functional results.
By correcting gum recession, our gum grafts help provide long-lasting dental protection and improve the overall appearance of our patients’ smiles, ensuring successful healing.
Gum grafting, protection and prevention
Gum grafts offer numerous benefits. First, they help cover exposed roots, reducing tooth sensitivity and protecting teeth from further damage. Furthermore, gum transplants can help prevent further recession and reduce the buildup of bacteria in periodontal pockets.
Finally, the aesthetic aspect should not be underestimated. Significantly improved thanks to this surgery, it allows us to improve the overall well-being of our patients.
How is a gum graft performed?
To perform a gum graft, our expert periodontists use different methods, depending on the specific situation.
Among these methods, we can harvest the graft from the patient’s mouth (such as the palate), while in other clinical conditions, biocompatible tissue matrices are used.
Gum grafting and post-operative indications
After gum grafting surgery, we provide our patients with specific post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing.
For example? Avoid brushing, flossing the treated area until healing occurs, and follow a soft diet to avoid irritating the area. And if you have any questions or concerns, we’re always available.
