Gum recession is a common condition where the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, exposing the roots. This process often happens gradually and may not be noticed until symptoms like sensitivity, visible root surfaces, or changes in your smile’s appearance occur. While it may seem like a cosmetic issue, receding gums can lead to increased sensitivity, a higher risk of cavities, and even affect the stability of your teeth.
Gum recession can result from a variety of factors, including:
No matter the cause, early evaluation and treatment are essential to protecting your gums and maintaining your oral health. Our team is here to provide the care and solutions you need to address gum recession effectively.
Soft tissue grafting is a proven treatment that restores gum coverage and improves both function and appearance. This procedure involves adding healthy gum tissue to areas where the gums have receded. The benefits of soft tissue grafting include:
This treatment not only enhances your oral health but also helps create a natural, confident smile.
Your care begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the best approach for your specific needs. During the soft tissue grafting procedure, healthy gum tissue is placed and secured, allowing it to heal and integrate naturally. Most patients experience only mild discomfort, which improves quickly. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and successful results.

Advanced Dental Implant Center are part of a professional affiliation of dental implant practices operated by oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and restorative dentists. With the specialized techniques used by Advanced Dental Implant Center, such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants, nearly all patients qualify for same day dental implants from a dental perspective. Prospective patients require an initial workup that includes an oral examination, 3D radiographic evaluation, and medical history consultation. Some patients with certain medical histories may not qualify for surgical treatment. “Teeth-in-a-day”, “one day implant teeth”, “same day implant teeth”, etc. refers to the fact that on the day of surgery, patients will have teeth removed (unless all teeth are already missing, dental implants placed, and a screw retained prosthesis secured to these implants on the same day as the surgery. While this first set of teeth are permanent in the fact that they are secured to the dental implants by screws, these teeth are typically not the final set of teeth as the patient will be allowed to heal prior to the delivery of the final set of teeth. Furthermore, the patient will be allowed to suggest desired changes to the initial set of teeth prior to the fabrication of the final set of teeth. The initial set of screw retained implant teeth are permanent in the fact that they are not removable by the patient and can only be removed by personnel in a dental office. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime depending on the age of the patient when the implants were originally placed. Studies show that dental implants can last over 25 years with proper home care and regular professional maintenance.
