Periodontal Plastic Surgery

What is Periodontal Plastic Surgery?

Periodontal plastic surgery focuses on correcting gum recession, a condition where the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This can result in increased sensitivity, an unattractive smile, and potential for further dental issues. Our periodontal plastic surgery aims to restore the gumline and improve the overall health and aesthetics of your smile.

Benefits of Periodontal Plastic Surgery

1. Improved Gum Aesthetics
Recession defects are treated to enhance the appearance of your gums, creating a more even and natural-looking smile.

2. Enhanced Oral Health
By addressing gum recession, we help prevent further damage to your teeth and reduce the risk of associated dental problems.

3. Increased Comfort
Treatment reduces sensitivity and discomfort caused by exposed tooth roots, allowing for a more comfortable daily experience.

4. Long-Term Results
Our advanced surgical techniques are designed to achieve durable and stable results, improving both function and appearance.

Treatment Options

1. Connective Tissue Grafts
A section of tissue is taken from the roof of your mouth (palate) and grafted to the area of gum recession. This procedure helps to restore lost gum tissue and cover exposed roots.

2. Free Gingival Grafts
Similar to connective tissue grafts, this method involves taking a graft from the palate to add thickness to the gum tissue, improving both coverage and appearance.

3. Pinhole Surgical Technique
A minimally invasive procedure where a small hole is made in the gum tissue, and special instruments are used to reposition and secure the gum tissue over the exposed roots. This technique often results in less discomfort and a quicker recovery.

4. AlloDerm® Regeneration
Utilizes a donor tissue graft (AlloDerm®) to regenerate and restore gum tissue in the affected area. This option is especially useful for patients who may not have enough healthy tissue for traditional grafting procedures.

The Procedure

1. Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Navid Baradarian will conduct a detailed assessment of your gum recession, including a clinical examination and diagnostic imaging to determine the most suitable treatment approach.

2. Treatment Planning

3. Surgical Intervention
The selected technique is performed with precision to address the recession defects and restore the gumline. The procedure is typically carried out with local anesthesia to ensure comfort.

4. Post-Treatment Care
