What is the benefit of an AlloDerm® graft?

AlloDerm® grafts help restore receding gums without requiring tissue to be taken from the roof of your mouth, promoting natural tissue regeneration while minimizing discomfort.

How can regular periodontal cleanings help?

Professional periodontal cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, help prevent gum disease, support healthy gums, and allow early detection of potential oral health concerns.

What are the signs that I may need periodontal treatment?

Common signs include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, tooth sensitivity, loose teeth, or swollen and tender gums. Early treatment can help prevent more serious oral health complications and protect your smile.

AlloDerm® Grafts: A Revolutionary Solution for Receding Gums and Periodontal Disease

The AlloDerm® graft is a form of soft tissue grafting that can help repair areas damaged by periodontal disease. Whereas other grafting procedures use your tissues to repair damaged areas, AlloDerm grafts are made from a synthetic material constructed from real donated human tissue to stimulate tissue healing and cell regrowth. The donated human tissue is processed to make it safe for use, and the FDA has approved the resulting AlloDerm graft strips for use in surgical procedures. The AlloDerm material is grafted to the recessed gum area, covering the roots of teeth and leaving you without any additional incisions or wounds. 

AlloDerm grafts in Beverly Hills do not simply cover your exposed tooth root, nor is it like a permanent bandage. Instead, AlloDerm contains a complex collagen format that stimulates the regrowth and revascularization of your healthy tissue, eventually leaving you with brand-new healthy tissue with its blood supply. 

With this procedure, Dr. Parsa T. Zadeh clears away infected tissue from the recessed area, then shapes a strip of AlloDerm to fit the resulting wound and cover any exposed roots of your teeth. Then, he affixes the AlloDerm strip over the wound, completing the process. There is no need to remove any healthy tissue from the palate of your mouth and no need for sutures. The AlloDerm strip usually remains in your mouth for several months before it disintegrates, but the natural collagen tissue it leaves behind is incredibly long-lasting.

Connective Tissue Graft: A Solution for Receding Gums and Exposed Tooth Roots

The procedure for a connective tissue graft is similar to a free gingival graft but with one difference. During a free gingival graft near you, hard tissue is removed from the palate of the mouth and grafted onto the recessed gum area. It repairs the recessed gum area but leaves an uncomfortable wound on the roof of the mouth. It eventually heals with time.

  During a connective tissue graft, an incision is made in the palate, but the removed tissue is from under the top layer of tissue. This means that instead of an open wound on the palate, there is only an incision — the wound is covered by the flap created during the tissue removal process.  

This connective tissue (so named because it connects the outer layer of skin to the inside of your mouth) has more excellent healing properties than the other layer of skin, so it is instrumental in covering the exposed roots of teeth. While free gingival grafting is an excellent option for thinning or recessed gums, a connective tissue graft is Dr. Zadeh's first choice for protecting the exposed roots of teeth while simultaneously treating periodontal disease.

Free Gingival Graft

If the hard tissue of your gums has recessed due to periodontal disease, a free gingival graft may be necessary. With this particular form of treating gum disease, Dr. Parsa T. Zadeh uses your mouth's healthy hard tissues to repair damage caused by periodontal disease, especially in the case of recessed gums. Wherever there is a surplus of extra, healthy hard tissue (usually the roof of the patient's mouth, called the palate), Dr. Zadeh removes some tissue and grafts it to the site of the gum recession. Dr. Zadeh always takes tissue from a healthy site in your mouth so that the site can heal properly. 

This is a beneficial technique when gums have recessed to the point of exposing the tooth's root; replacing the recessed gum with your mouth's natural tissues helps promote healing of the tissue and protects the root of the tooth just as your natural gums would.

Prophylactic Cleaning

Prophylactic cleaning in Beverly Hills is performed every three to six months to prevent periodontal disease. A few patients will need more cleanings for preventive measures, and a few will need cleanings only once a year. Our excellent hygienist completes the cleanings in one-hour appointment slots. The prophylactic cleanings include:

A dense review of the patient's medical history and measurement of your blood pressure.
An oral cancer screening and examination of teeth and gums.
Ultrasonic scaling of all teeth, followed by manual scaling. The teeth are then polished by fluoridated pumice for perfect and smooth service.
Abrupt awakenings accompanied by shortness of breath
