Recession Treatment Option – Gum Grafting

When the recession is more severe, gum grafting is one treatment option. The donor tissues are usually taken from the patient's own palate, and then grafted onto the recession site. I know that the description of the procedure is a little frightening but the end result is definately worth it.

This surgical procedure is usually completed at a dental specialist's office. Our office will be happy to coordinate the referral for anyone who needs it done.

The sample case was completed by Dr. Kurt Van Winkle, Periodontist.
