Tissue Grafts

Tissue Grafts

Healthy gums are essential for a beautiful smile and strong teeth. At Pelican Dental, we provide advanced gum treatments, including tissue grafting, root coverage, and frenectomy procedures, to restore gum health and protect your smile. With our Fotona LightWalker laser, we can perform both soft tissue and hard tissue treatments with precision, comfort, and faster healing.

What Are Tissue Grafts?

Tissue grafting is a procedure used to replace or restore gum tissue that has receded or been lost due to periodontal disease, trauma, or aggressive brushing. Gum recession exposes the tooth roots, which can cause sensitivity, increase the risk of cavities, and affect your smile’s appearance. A tissue graft restores healthy gum coverage, protecting the teeth and improving overall oral health.

Root Coverage and Tissue Graft Benefits

Veneers can completely transform the look of your smile by covering discoloration, chips, gaps, and irregularly shaped teeth.

  • Protects Exposed Roots: Reduces sensitivity caused by root exposure.
  • Presents Further Gum Recession: Strengthens and rebuilds the gum line.
  • Enhances Appearance: Creates a more even, balanced smile.
  • Supports Tooth Health: Reduces risk of root decay and sensitivity.

Frenectomy with Laser Technology

A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes or reshapes the frenum, the small fold of tissue that connects the lips, tongue, or cheeks to the gums. A tight or overly restrictive frenum can cause speech issues, gum recession, or gaps between teeth.

Laser Frenectomy Advantages:

  • Minimal bleeding and faster healing compared to traditional methods.
  • More comfortable experience for patients of all ages.
  • Precise tissue removal with reduced risk of infection.

Why We Use the Fotona LightWalker Laser

The Fotona LightWalker is an advanced laser system that allows us to perform both soft tissue (gums) and hard tissue (teeth and bone) treatments. For tissue grafts and frenectomies, this laser provides:

  • Enhanced Precision: Minimizes impact on surrounding tissues.
  • Comfort and Safety: Reduces pain, swelling, and bleeding.
  • Faster Recovery: Speeds up healing so you can return to normal activities sooner.

Are You a Candidate for Tissue Grafting?

You may need tissue grafting if you experience:

  • Gum recession that exposes tooth roots.
  • Sensitivity when eating hot or cold foods.
  • Gaps or spacing caused by frenum attachment issues.
  • Concerns about your gum line’s appearance.
