TORRANCE, Calif., July 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Periodontist Dr. Arta Farahmand provides leading-edge solutions for patients in Torrance, CA who suffer from the painful symptoms of gum disease. One of her most requested treatments is the correction of receding gums, for which Dr. Farahmand uses the most innovative, trusted techniques in the dental industry.
From its inception, gum disease begins to destroy healthy gum tissues. As the tissues succumb to the progressive nature of the condition, they begin to pull away from the teeth. In addition, they may start to shrink, causing receding gums in adults with undiagnosed or unmanaged gum disease. Gum recession is often accompanied by feelings of heightened tooth sensitivity and red, painful, swollen and bleeding gums. When gums have reached this stage, the only way to restore them is with proper gum disease cleanings and maintenance, as well as gum recession surgery.
Dr. Farahmand routinely performs surgical procedures for those with receding gums. One type of gum recession surgery involves traditional gum grafting. During a gum graft, Dr. Farahmand removes gum tissue from another area of the mouth or palate. She then sutures the grafting material to the receding gums, creating a new gum line. After the site has healed, the gums are better aligned to look natural and protect the teeth and jawbone.
Dr. Farahmand also offers a more minimally invasive alternative to gum grafting known as the tunnel technique. When performing the tunnel technique, Dr. Farahmand uses biocompatible grafting material to cover exposed roots. The tunnel technique is preferred in cases where patients with receding gums are better served by having one surgical site instead of two.
