Treatment Results - What to Expect

Grafts

This procedure can reduce the sensitivity of exposed roots as shown in the Before photo, and make them less likely to become decayed. The results of treatment are very natural in appearance and will make you less self-conscious of being "long in the tooth." A graft procedure can truly give you something to smile about!

A graft can also successfully treat areas of early root surface decay, visible at the arrow in the Before photo. This treatment results in a natural correction that avoids placing filling materials into the root surface. Fillings leave the tooth elongated in appearance and eventually discolor, requiring periodic replacement.
