This photo shows his gums 3 months after the graft. Notice the roots are completely covered. He can now complete his orthodontic work without risk of his recession getting worse.

This photo shows his gum tissue after his braces have been removed. This is about one year after the graft. Notice his gum tissue is stable.

Case Study 4

Case Study 5

Case Study 6

Case Study 7

This is a case of gum recession involving a front tooth.

After giving him local anesthetic the grafting was done and he left with 2 small dissolvable sutures and some tissue glue to secure the graft. Again, minimal soreness was experienced after the graft.

Over time the tissue evened out. Looks very good and is stable.

This is how he looked a few months after the treatment. Notice the gum tissue looks thicker. We like the tissue to thicken up after grafting; thicker means more stable. This may be a little too thick from a cosmetic perspective however he was not concerned with it.
