There are numerous factors that can impact
your smile and when Dr. Denine Rice sees gums that have receded or swollen and
puffy gums, she knows that it is important to help patients understand the
importance of looking at options to restore their gum health.
Your gums help hold your teeth in place and
decrease the risk of them becoming loose. Once you lose one tooth you are
further at risk to lose more. You can also develop problems with your jaw and
the alignment of your teeth as they shift into the locations where you have
missing teeth.
Gum graft procedures can help take gum
tissue from other locations in your mouth and place them where you need it most.
Once the tissue is placed it will heal and blend with your other tissue,
replacing your exposed roots with healthy tissue.
A laser periodontal procedure removes
bacteria from below the gum line and decreases bleeding, puffiness and
bacteria. When individuals have periodontal disease their bodies are constantly
fighting infection which can lead to heart disease and other problems. Laser
periodontal procedures do not require sutures and can usually be completed in 1
or 2 days requiring very little downtime.
