San Jose's premier periodontist, Dr. Jeremy Ueno of Ueno Periodontics, provides gum grafting procedures to solve the problem of receding gums.
Campbell, CA (PRWEB) November 30, 2012
Ueno Periodontics is now offering expert gum grafting procedures to solve the problem of receding gums. Ueno Periodontics is well known for providing dental implants and tooth extraction, but will now become more renowned for its gum disease treatments, gum surgeries, and laser gum surgeries.
As the premier periodontist in San Jose, Dr. Ueno knows that gum recession occurs when a significant amount of attachment is lost between the tooth, bone and gum tissue, usually causing the roots to be exposed. This is a progressive process, and may have symptoms such as heat or cold sensitivity, loss of tooth stability, and even cavities below the gum line. Not only can this be a problem aesthetically, it also worsens the tooth's long-term prognosis.
To address this problem, Ueno Periodontics suggests gum grafting or connective tissue grafting to cover root recession.
"[Gum grafting] is done for esthetics, function and longevity of the tooth," says Dr. Jeremy Ueno, a board certified dental specialist in periodontics. "[It] increases the long term prognosis of teeth, improves esthetics, reduces the chance of a cavity on roots, and reduces cold sensitivity."
Gum grafting is an aesthetic plastic surgery procedure that restores the receding gum line to its previous healthy level. At Ueno Periodontics, patients are treated with the use of Alloderm, or donor graft, which eliminates the need for using tissue from the roof of the mouth. To speed the healing of the grafts, as well as reduce patient discomfort, the practice uses Emdogain which aids in the regeneration process, and Gem 21s, a synthetic grafting system that stimulates wound healing.
As gum recession is a long-term process, it is usually observed in individuals over 40, more often due to periodontal disease, trauma, or abrasion from brushing. But this does not mean that the younger generation is not suffering from it - they may develop the problem due to braces.
"If you are one of the millions of Americans that have gum recession, then you may want to consider having a gum graft done in order to cover your exposed roots and make your teeth both healthier and more aesthetic," Ueno Periodontics explains on its website.
