Gum Recession Correction in Buford, GA

What Is Gum Recession and What Causes It?

Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth retracts and exposes the roots. This can make teeth look abnormally long and cause you to appear older. Receded gums also make your teeth more sensitive and prone to damage. This risk comes about because the roots have less protection and are softer than tooth enamel.

There are several potential causes of gum recession. Among the most common are:

Genetics
Teeth grinding
Severe gum disease
Misaligned teeth
Trauma to teeth
Aggressive dental hygiene, including brushing or flossing

How Does Gum Recession Treatment Work?

Treatment for receding gums can vary, depending on the type of gum graft procedure performed. All treatments do, however, follow the same basic process.

Whether performing the Pinhole Surgical Technqiue, micro-surgical gum grafts, or converntial gum grafting, all areas are typically grafted during a single appointment. For patients who are anxious about the idea of grafting, sedation options are available so we can keep you comfortable. At your consultation, we will discuss and determine the method and materials best suited for your situation, as well as discuss any concerns.

After gum recession correction procedures, most patients only need over-the-counter medication for pain. Pain relief is generally only necessary for two to three days. Most patients return to work the next day with minimal discomfort. We are committed to patient well-being and ensuring that you get the desired results.

After the procedure, we will schedule you for follow-up appointments over the course of three to six months. If you have been suffering from receding gums, read more below to get started!

Our Gum Graft Solutions

In our consultation, we will discuss the best options for your gum graft. Our main options include:

Pinhole Surgical Technique. The Pinhole Surgical Technique may be a treatment option for those with gingival recession, offering a minimally invasive alternative to more traditional gum recession procedures that involve grafting or sutures. The primary advantage of the Pinhole Surgical Technique is that multiple teeth can be treated in one sitting, without incisions, sutures, or multiple surgeries!  It makes for a less painful recovery and is a faster procedure than grafting.

Micro Surgical Techniques. This method of gum recession correction allows for minimal incisions and sutures. In addition, newer synthetic collagen materials may allow for patients to avoid having tissue harvested from the roof of the mouth and sutures all together. The benefit of this technique is that the wound heals very quickly - usually within two days. You'll only need over-the-counter pain relief.

Traditional Gum Grafting. With this method, we use connective tissue from the roof of the patient's mouth for the gum graft. A small incision is used to harvest the tissue. Connective tissue gum grafts are extremely predictable and allow for improvement in even the most difficult recession cases.

Micro-Surgical Treatment. Dr. Jones and his team provide fast, minimally-invasive surgery to fix receding gums. In our office, we use illuminated microscopes. Micro-surgery uses much smaller instruments than traditional surgery.  Smaller instruments mean smaller incisions and less discomfort after treatment. Instead of cutting into the gum, our dentist creates a small tunnel in the neck of the tooth in which to insert the gum graft.

Pinhole Technique. Dr. Jones has training in the latest treatments for gum recession. Instead of removing and replacing gum tissue, this procedure involves moving tissue over exposed roots through tiny pinholes. Collagen then helps to stabilize the gums.

Overall amazing experience! Definitely didn’t know what to expect and with the work I needed to get done I was beyond nervous. Safe to say Kelly was one of the main reasons I decided to see it through! She made me more than comfortable in such an embarrassing situation! Then Dr Hanna sealed the deal with his optimism and confidence in fixing my smile! Highly recommend them! My procedure went amazing! Couldn’t be happier with the results!

First time to dentist in about 7 years.. Sat in my truck for about 20 minutes just thinking about driving off and not looking back.. SO glad I forced myself to go in. From walking in to walking out, I had an amazing experience. Every team member I encountered was awesome. It’s like they are robots who use some AI tech to provide you with conversation based on your recent google searches (just kidding) but seriously, I didn’t realize normal people worked at dental offices until walking in here. Just quit reading and book an appointment…or get out of your car already and go in, truly a refreshing experience.I really want to leave a 1 star so more people don’t take up all of the appointment spots, but that obviously wouldn’t be right. 5 stars all around!

Dr. Copeland and Laurie worked so diligently on my temporary crown. They are a perfect team and made me so comfortable despite all the drilling. They are so kind, friendly and professional along with other members of Jones and Copeland Smiles. I look forward to returning for my permanent crown from such a dedicated team.

Jones Smiles provides exceptional care like no other dental office. It's a one stop shop for all of my dental needs. Dr. Hanna and Gina are amazing and really go out there way to make sure I'm comfortable and well cared for! Colleen is awesome. She always make sure all of my appts are squared away, always smiling, always so kind! This office uses the leading technology in the dental industry and has an upbeat atmosphere of joy that makes going to the dentist so much easier. Everything is kept very pristine, and clean. Going to the dentist is honestly not one of my favorite places, however the Jones Smile team always makes me feel at home and treats me like family. That's huge to me. And my teeth look AMAZING thanks to them!!!They will take good care of you! Seriously, you'll walk out SMILING😁Thanks Dr. Hanna and Gina!!!
