Gum Grafting

This otherwise healthy 23 year old presented to our office with advanced gingival recession on her side and back teeth. She had recently started dating and her boyfriend mention that she should get it "checked out before she starts losing her teeth." We determined that it would be prudent to treat her left side first, as this side has more recession and exposed roots than does her right side. The "before and after" photographs seen below are the results at her two week visit following connective tissue grafting. We plan to treat her right side next month.

This 41 year old male from Pleasant Grove, Utah presents to our office with gum recession on his upper canines.

This 53 year old male presents with exposed, sensitive root surfaces on his upper canines. He reports that he can no longer eat or drink anything remotely cold as they cause him too much pain. Although he is concerned with his dental esthetics, his main objective is to eliminate the hypersensitivity to cold, and enjoy some of the simple things in life, like a glass of milk for example. The results seen here were taken two months after eliminating his recession with Connective Tissue grafting.
