Receding gums? We can help

Many of our Perth patients enquire about treatment for receding gums. This condition causes exposure of the roots of your teeth as your gums recede, and as your gum tissue becomes thinner. The causes of gum recession are:

  • Poor oral health and periodontal disease
  • Excessive brushing of your teeth and gums (or excessive flossing)
  • Teeth grinding
  • Genetic factors

When receded gums start affecting the quality of your smile, it is important to know that at Complete Implants and Sedation Dentistry Perth, our dentists can help you with specific treatment to correct the effects of receded gums.

What are the types of gum grafting?

At Complete Implants in Subiaco (Perth) we offer a range of gum graft procedures:

  • Connective Tissue Graft: using tissue from below the palate
  • Alloderm Graft: using donor-based tissue to avoid a second incision.
  • Free Gingival Graft: using surface gum from the palate to replace missing gum tissue
  • Coronally Repositioned Flap: lifting a gum area and suturing it in a new position so it covers more of your teeth’s surface.
  • Vestibuloplasty: relieving muscle attachments on delicate areas to prevent recession.
  • Leukocyte and Platelet Rich Fibrin(L-PRF): using a substance produced from your own blood cells, to modify gum tissue defects.

More detail about the types of grafting can be found here.

Sleep dentistry or IV Sedation Dentistry when treating receding gums

To make your gum grafting procedure more comfortable, you can choose to utilise IV Sedation Dentistry. Our rooms in Subiaco (Perth) are purpose equipped with modern sedation monitoring systems and staff expertly trained to ensure a safe and comfortable grafting procedure. 

Our team, led by Dr Misagh Habibi, has extensive expertise in gum and bone grafting, as well as more complex surgical procedures for dental implants and full mouth reconstructions.

It is important to address gum recession in its early stages as your oral health concerns may get worse if left untreated, leading to further deterioration.
