How Gum Regeneration Techniques Can Reverse Gum Recession

Gum recession is a common yet often overlooked dental issue that can significantly impact the health, appearance, and stability of both natural teeth and dental implants. At Ora Dental Implant Studio in Elk Grove, CA, we understand that gum health is the foundation of a healthy smile. Our advanced gum regeneration techniques are designed to reverse gum recession, providing a minimally invasive solution that restores both function and aesthetics.

Understanding Gum Recession: Causes and Risks

Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth or dental implants pulls back, exposing more of the tooth or implant surface. This condition can be caused by several factors:

• Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to gum disease, which is one of the primary causes of gum recession.
• Aggressive Brushing: Brushing too hard or using a toothbrush with stiff bristles can wear away gum tissue over time.
• Gum Disease (Periodontitis): Infection and inflammation caused by gum disease can destroy gum tissue and the supporting bone structure.
• Genetics: Some individuals are more genetically prone to gum recession due to the natural thickness of their gum tissue.
• Tobacco Use: Smoking and chewing tobacco can weaken gum tissue, making it more susceptible to recession.
• Dental Implants and Misalignment: Poorly positioned teeth or implants and improper alignment can place additional stress on the gums, contributing to recession.

When gums recede, they not only expose more of the tooth or implant but also leave the area vulnerable to bacteria and plaque buildup. This exposure can lead to increased sensitivity, a higher risk of decay, and even tooth or implant loss if left untreated. Proactively addressing gum recession is crucial to preserving the long-term health of your teeth and implants.

Gum Regeneration Techniques: A Minimally Invasive Solution

At Ora Dental Implant Studio, we offer an advanced gum regeneration technique to address and reverse gum recession with minimal discomfort and downtime. This innovative procedure uses special tools to regenerate lost gum tissue, creating a stable, healthy foundation for your smile. Here’s how the process works:

• Creating a Small, Precise Hole: Using specialized instruments, our team creates a tiny, precise hole in the receding gum tissue. This step is minimally invasive, causing minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue.
• Adding Collagen Material: Collagen, a naturally occurring protein, is then added to the small opening. This collagen material acts as a support structure for the gum tissue, promoting natural regeneration and encouraging the gums to grow back to their original position.
• Stabilizing and Preventing Further Recession: The collagen material stabilizes the treated area, preventing further gum recession and protecting the underlying teeth or implants. This technique not only restores lost gum tissue but also helps protect against future gum deterioration.

Why Gum Regeneration Matters

Reversing gum recession is more than a cosmetic improvement—it is essential for maintaining healthy teeth, implants, and gums. By restoring lost gum tissue, gum regeneration reduces sensitivity, prevents further recession, and reduces the risk of plaque accumulation in hard-to-reach areas. For patients with dental implants, healthy gums provide essential support, preserving the stability of the implant and preventing complications down the road.
