Our Gum Grafting Treatment

At River District Smiles, we offer advanced gum grafting treatment to restore and enhance the health and aesthetics of your smile. Gum grafting is a specialized procedure that addresses receding gums, a common condition that can lead to tooth sensitivity, root exposure, and a less attractive smile. With our expertise in periodontics and state-of-the-art techniques, we provide effective gum grafting solutions tailored to your individual needs.

During the gum grafting procedure, our skilled periodontists carefully take gum tissue from a donor site, typically the roof of your mouth or a tissue bank, and graft it onto the areas with gum recession. This helps to cover exposed tooth roots, protect them from further damage, and improve the overall appearance of your smile. We use advanced surgical techniques and modern anesthesia methods to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

From the initial consultation to post-operative care, we are committed to ensuring your comfort and satisfaction every step of the way. We are committed to providing personalized care and achieving the best possible outcomes for our patients. With our expertise in gum grafting and dedication to patient satisfaction, you can trust us to restore your gum health and rejuvenate your smile.

• Red, swollen, or puffy gums
• Tender gums
• Receding gums
• Changes in the bite (how the teeth come together)

• Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
• Bad taste in the mouth
• The formation of pockets between the teeth and gums
• Pus between the teeth and gums
• Loose Teeth

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional dental care.

Gum Cleaning and How Our Practice Provides It

At River District Smiles, we prioritize the importance of gum cleaning as a fundamental aspect of maintaining optimal oral health. Our practice offers comprehensive gum cleaning services to effectively remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that can lead to gum disease and other oral health issues.

During a gum cleaning procedure, our skilled dental hygienists utilize specialized tools and techniques to gently and thoroughly clean the gumline and the spaces between your teeth. This process, known as scaling and root planing, involves carefully removing plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline. By eliminating these harmful substances, we can prevent gum inflammation, gum recession, and the progression of gum disease.

By choosing River District Smiles for your gum cleaning needs, you can trust that our dedicated team will deliver exceptional care, utilizing advanced techniques and modern equipment to promote your gum health and enhance your overall oral well-being.

How to Reverse Gum Disease

Fortunately, there are ways to reverse gum disease with proper dental care!

To start reversing your gum disease:

1. Make sure you’re brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes at a time, and flossing once a day. You should also use an antibacterial mouthwash to help kill any lingering bacteria. Regularly visiting the dentist for checkups and cleanings is also important in reversing gum disease.
2. Cut back on sugary foods and drinks, since they can feed the bacteria that cause gum disease.
3. If you smoke, try to quit as soon as possible; smoking is a major risk factor for gum disease.
4. You may need to take antibiotics in order to fight off any infection in your gums. Your dentist will be able to recommend which kind of antibiotics would work best for you.
5. If your gums are swollen, your dentist may recommend a deep cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing in order to remove any plaque or tartar that has built up below the gum line.
6. Lastly, there are various vitamins and supplements you can take to help boost your oral health, such as Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin D, and probiotics.

If you follow these steps carefully, you should be able to reverse your gum disease over time and get your oral health back on track! Additionally, it’s important to remember that prevention is the best cure: keep up with a regular dental hygiene routine and visit the dentist regularly in order to maintain good oral health.
