Has your dentist recommended gum grafting? Left untreated, exposed gums like these (upper picture) can lead to severe recession, increased tooth mobility and even tooth loss. Gum grafting (picture below) adds tissue to the impacted area providing long lasting protection. Call us today to explore how gum grafting can improve not only sensitivity and aesthetics, but your overall oral health as well.

Tongue and lip piercings may be a fun form of self-expression, but what toll are they taking on your teeth and gums? A systematic literature review completed in 2022 concluded that oral piercings contribute to periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss. The apparatus are a reservoir for bacteria that can be transferred underneath the gums which may lead to bone loss and gum recession. The length of time since the piercing increases the risk as well as habitual rubbing and manipulation within the mouth. Below is an example of gingival augmentation done for a patient who had a tongue ring for four years and was experiencing increasing root sensitivity, tooth mobility and progressive gum recession.

Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is an important tool for restoring a healthy bone structure to support your natural teeth or an implant. Without this healthy bone foundation you risk losing your teeth or implant. Dr Tymkiw places bone particles into your jaw which then stimulate your body to replace the grafted bone with your own native bone. This process takes four to six months and stability is restored.
