Board-Certified Periodontist, Dr. Jin Kim, Offers Gum Grafting, Halts Receding Gums in Chino Hills, Calif.
Renowned periodontist, Dr. Jin Y. Kim, raises awareness of the importance of receding gums in Chino Hills, California, using trusted gum grafting procedures.
CHINO HILLS, Calif., April 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Jin Y. Kim, a board-certified periodontist well-regarded in his field, now accepts those with receding gums in Chino Hills, California, for gum grafting consultations. Gum grafting replaces lost gum tissue at the site of gum recession to cover exposed and vulnerable tooth roots and restore oral health. When properly placed, a gum graft offers a permanent solution to receding gums.
Receding gums can occur for many reasons. One common reason is untreated or unmanaged gum disease. Gum disease is caused by bacteria that exists in the hard to reach periodontal pockets between the teeth and gums. As the bacteria destroys healthy soft and hard tissue, the periodontal pockets deepen. This leads the gums to recede from their protective position around the teeth, exposing the tooth root to further damage or decay.
Gum recession can be due to a genetic predisposition toward the condition as well. Many patients from Chino Hills with receding gums have a family history of the same problem. Yet other causes of gum recession can be severely crooked or crowded teeth, as well as aggressive at-home brushing and flossing behavior.
Aside from being a health issue, receding gums can also hurt a patient's self-esteem. As gums recede, the teeth tend to look longer and out of proportion. In the case of gum recession in only one part of the mouth, or in isolated areas, this "long in the tooth" effect can be even more punctuated and stand out in the smile.
Dr. Kim regularly treats patients who require gum grafting by first evaluating their situation and then making recommendations based on his specialized training and experience. He offers this treatment solution at his Diamond Bar, California, or West Garden Grove, California, offices under anesthesia. Patients with dental anxiety are encouraged to ask about sedation dentistry options available.
Those with receding gums in the Chino Hills, Calif., area are urged to contact board-certified periodontist Dr. Kim. Appointments can be made by calling his location in Diamond Bar, California, at 909-860-9222 or West Garden Grove, California, at 714-898-8757. Outside referrals for gum grafting inquiries are not necessary.
