You may also choose to have the surgery for cosmetic reasons, such as to eliminate a “toothy” smile and achieve a more symmetrically even gum line. There are 3 types of gum graft surgery. Dr. Bokser, DDS can explain your options and help determine the best approach for enjoying a more beautiful smile today.
About Gum Grafting
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth shrinks back or wears away, exposing more of the tooth, or the tooth’s root. As a result your teeth start to look longer. The is the origin of the phrase “toothy” smile and when people start to look “long in the tooth.”
To perform a gum graft, your dentist at Precision Dental NYC removes healthy skin from another place in your mouth or uses synthetic tissue. The donor tissue helps repair receding gums that occur from gum disease. Gum graft surgery is always a last resort. Gum grafting is simple and safe when performed by a trained family dentist.
Our dental team ensures your comfort and safety during all dental procedures and always concentrates on your ultimate dental health first. They also practice cosmetic dentistry, so if you need any follow-up procedures to improve your appearance after gum grafting, you can get them done at the same place.
