Gum Recession Affects Dental Health and Appearance

Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth and slowly shrinks down the length of the roots. This exposes the more delicate root surfaces, increasing your risk of damage, decay and even tooth loss. Receded gums have a significant impact on your dental health and the appearance of your smile. Common symptoms include tooth sensitivity, longer-looking teeth and tooth discoloration near the gum line. With gum recession care from our experienced team, however, you can once again enjoy a healthy, attractive, comfortable smile.

Tradition Gum Grafting VS PST

A Revolutionary Option for Gum Recession Care

PST has changed how many patients overcome gum recession. This minimally invasive option differs from traditional gum grafting in several ways. Instead of harvesting gum tissue or other biocompatible materials for grafting, PST repositions gum tissue through a pinhole-size opening in the gums. Through this opening, we insert patented instruments designed to gently loosen the tissue. We then move the gum line to a healthier level on the tooth. covering exposed root surfaces. Small strips of collagen are used to keep the gum tissue in place until healing is complete.
