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.

10/10 stars for Jones & Copeland Smiles!!
Honestly 5 stars does not do this review justice.
All the ladies here are the most caring and professional I’ve ever seen. Everyone from Colleen up front always taking my calls, to Angela working with me to plan and help fix my mouth/teeth/smile, to Amy giving me the best cleaning my teeth/gums have ever seen, and finally to Laurie and Dr. Copeland!!
Laurie and Dr. Copeland did the most amazing job on my veneers and the absolute best job of making me feel very comfortable and welcomed into this great office!! I have always hated my teeth and hated more to smile, but the work the team did here for me changed me in the best way possible. My teeth and smile look better than I could’ve ever imagined. I feel and look like a whole new person and couldn’t be more grateful to J&C Smiles!! Honestly thought my mouth was beyond repair due to the damage of smoking and drinking for years, but they gave me something back I haven’t had in a long time, which was my confidence and courage to show my teeth while talking to people and taking pictures. I write this review not only for others to read and know that this is the only place I will go for any future work but I write this to the staff for always making me feel right at home and never judging the way my mouth/teeth looked. What they did here for me was truly a miracle and I couldn’t be happier with choosing JONES & COPELAND SMILES!!
Thank you truly for everything!!

I cannot express how monumental this experience was for me. I hadn’t been to the dentist in decades, and they made me feel so comfortable and were so kind and beyond any level of service I have ever received. The best medical experience I’ve ever had of any kind. Doctor Copeland, Natalie, and Kelly are top shelf providers.I consider them family. They changed my life.

Dr. Caitlin Long at Jones & Copeland Smiles has been my lifesaver. I am grateful to her and her assistants for everything they have done for me through a major dental surgery and denture fitting process. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I was terrified of the dentist, before coming to her, and had to take a calming medication just to drive there. I do not have to take any calming medications to see Dr. Long. Now I am actually happy to go to my appointments because her demeanor is very calming and she has been truly the best dentist I have ever seen. She and her assistants are always making sure you are comfortable. Thank you Dr. Long!! I am so glad I found you and Jones and Copeland Smiles. Now I can smile, talk, and eat without pain and embarrassment.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Copeland at Jones and Copeland Smiles! She did extensive dental work for me, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, she made sure I was completely comfortable and relaxed. The entire process was smooth and -surprisingly- painless. She’s incredibly skilled, gentle, and clearly takes pride in doing quality work.

The entire staff was also fantastic- friendly, professional, and welcoming. They really make the whole experience feel easy and stress free. I e always been a bit anxious about dental visits, but Dr. Copeland and her team have completely changed that for me. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent dental care in a warm and supportive environment!
