Gum Grafting
Are you experiencing a gum recession and concerned about the health of your teeth and gums? Discover how Lonsdale Dental Practice, serving Kirkby Lonsdale, Settle, Bentham, and Lancaster, can help restore your gum health and protect your smile with expert gingival grafting procedures.
Understanding Gum Recession
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth wears away or pulls back, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This can lead to a variety of issues, including increased sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, and an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
The importance of treating um Recession
If left untreated, gum recession can have serious consequences for your oral health. Gaps that form between the teeth and gum line provide the perfect breeding ground for disease-causing bacteria, leading to further gum tissue loss and potential damage to the supporting structures of the teeth. Ultimately, untreated gum recession can result in tooth loss and compromised oral function.
Gingival Grafting: Restoring Gum Health
At Lonsdale Dental Practice, our experienced Associate Dentist, Dr. Barry Rimmer, specializes in gingival grafting, also known as gum grafting. During this procedure, oral tissue is grafted onto the area of exposed tooth root, effectively covering and protecting the vulnerable area. Gingival grafting can be performed on multiple teeth and typically takes as little as 40 minutes to complete.
