Improve The Cosmetic Appeal Of Your Smile
Chances are, if you have gum recession and know you need treatment you have heard about gum grafting. If you are concerned with the pain and healing time, you are not alone. Thankfully, our dentists are trained in modern gum grafting procedures that are relatively simple; they can often be accomplished with donor tissue, so that none has to be removed from your own body. We have also undergone specialized training the gum grafting alternative, the Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST™). PST can offer patients a more comfortable experience, eliminating such concerns with traditional treatment as incisions, sutures, and longer healing times. Custom gum recession treatment helps stabilize teeth and reduce their sensitivity while improving the cosmetic appeal of the smile. Our entire team in Scarborough, ON is trained in gum grafting techniques and PST to treat your gum recession and help return teeth to an attractive and healthy condition.
