Gum Contouring & Grafting in Blackfalds near Red Deer

The gum contouring and grafting techniques we use depend upon your individual needs. We use an Odyssey soft tissue laser to remove excess gum tissue from gums that are too low. We can also sculpt your gums to create a more even smile. This is called gum recontouring. Lost gum tissue can be regenerated and strengthened with gum grafts. If some of the roots of your teeth are visible due to gum line recession, gum grafting can help protect the roots from decay and sensitivity. There are two types of grafts that we use, connective tissue and free gingival, to cover exposed roots and to improve the health of your gums. Both types of grafts use tissue from the roof of your mouth that is carefully transferred to your gum line.
