Effective Treatments for Receding Gums at Our Poway Dental Office

Receding gums are a common issue associated with gum disease, where the gum line pulls back, exposing more of the tooth or the tooth’s root. This condition can lead to inflammation, root sensitivity, and even root cavities, making it crucial to address promptly to protect against further oral health issues.

Signs Indicating the Need for Gum Grafting

Gum grafting may be necessary if you notice any of the following symptoms:

Gum Grafting Procedures

A gum graft can effectively correct the gum line, minimizing tooth root exposure and enhancing your smile’s appearance. Dr. Abadan and her team at our Poway office assess each case to determine the most suitable type of gum grafting procedure, which may include connective tissue grafts, free gingival grafts, pedicle grafts, and the minimally invasive Pinhole Surgical Technique. These methods vary in approach, with some requiring tissue from the patient’s palate or a tissue bank, and others, like the Pinhole technique, using a less invasive method with no need for incisions.

Advanced Gum Grafting Techniques

Our office utilizes state-of-the-art techniques for treating gum recession. These include Advanced Laser Assisted Periodontal Surgery, which allows for precise treatment without incisions; the Pinhole Surgical Technique, which involves minimal disruption and no incisions; and periodontal plastic surgery, which offers excellent aesthetic outcomes.
