Periodontist, Dr. Steven Van Scoyoc, Offers Southern Pines, NC Gum Recession Treatment with Faster Healing Time
Southern Pines, NC (PRWEB) April 24, 2018 -- New patients experiencing signs of receding gums in Southern Pines, NC, can now visit Dr. Steven Van Scoyoc, a trusted periodontist, for AlloDerm® gum grafts with or without a referral. While traditional gum grafts require a sample of tissue taken from the patient themselves, AlloDerm is a donor source of tissue that is effective and comfortable for the patient, offering faster, lasting results.
When gum recession occurs, the gum tissue around the tooth begins to pull away, exposing the sensitive tooth roots. The roots of teeth do not have protective enamel to cover them, making them more susceptible to damage and disease. Without gum recession treatment, teeth can become loose, diseased and may even fall out. When gum grafts are performed with AlloDerm, donor tissue is placed over the exposed tooth roots and allowed to heal with the natural gum tissue. This secures the tooth and creates a natural and seamless gum line.
Traditional gum grafts can often cause discomfort for patients as tissue is removed from the roof of the mouth or surrounding gums and sutured where gums recede. Having two surgery sites is often less than ideal for most patients, so the choice of a donor tissue reduces pain and healing times. “With AlloDerm, we’re able to treat multiple areas of recession at one time, which reduces the number of treatment appointments that the patient has, the amount of recovery that they have to have and it creates a strong, predictable result for patients who have recession,” says Dr. Van Scoyoc.
AlloDerm provides patients with many benefits when compared to traditional gum grafts:
• Minimally invasive with one surgery site
• No palate surgery discomfort
• No palate tissue removal
• Predictable, natural looking results
