Gum Grafts

Do your teeth experience sensitivity to hot or cold? Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth? You may be suffering from gum recession or thinning. This problem can be corrected with a gum graft.

There are several types of gum grafts: to cover exposed root surfaces or to increase the band of keratinized tissue in the case of thin gums. The gum can be taken from the roof of the mouth or from a donor. DentisteALaval.com also offers a new, cutting-edge gum grafting technique, the Pinhole Rejuvenation Technique (PST), also known as the Microneedling Technique.

Reasons why you may need a gum graft: Do your teeth experience sensitivity when drinking cold liquids or eating ice cream? You may be suffering from gum recession. The roots of your teeth are exposed, causing sensitivity to cold.

Are the roots of your teeth exposed when you smile? You may be suffering from gum recession. Are your gums fragile after orthodontic treatment? Orthodontic treatment can weaken the gums, which can cause gum recession.
