This patient presented with a 4 mm of gum recession and minimal, thin, remaining, attached gingiva. This condition leaves the area vulnerable to further tissue loss and recession.

Before Treatment

The surgical technique I used to treat the recession was a VISTA (Vestibular Incision Subperioperiostal Tunnel Access) procedure, using a surgically created tunnel to thicken and coronally reposition the tissue.

Treatment

Notice the excellent improvement of the recession, the reduction of the frenum pull and the thickening of the attached gingiva. Overall, there is a significant improvement in the mucogingival condition of the tooth and the prospects for long term survival have been favourably enhanced.

After Treatment

If you have gingival recession and are embarrassed by your teeth, do not hesitate to contact our office today at 416–512–1146. We are here to help you. No referral is needed to visit our specialty office.
