Gum Grafting Can Correct Gum Recession Caused By Periodontal Disease
AlloDerm® Gum Grafting in Elyria & Westlake, OH
AlloDerm® is a soft tissue gum grafting material that delivers very predictable results. It is an attractive alternative to using a patient’s own tissue for a gum graft because there is no additional surgery involved and the donated human tissue functions just like the patient’s own tissue. It is now widely used in the field of dentistry.
Patients with periodontal disease may have receding gums that affect the quality of their smile and increase tooth sensitivity. Previously, dentists would need to retrieve tissue from the mouth to serve as grafting material. AlloDerm® is a regenerative tissue derived from a human donor and can be used for root coverage and soft tissue grafting procedures such as soft tissue augmentation and bone graft containment.
