Experience A Modern Approach to Gum Repair

Traditional gum grafting isn’t the only option for treating gum recession. Gum Builder treatment uses carefully placed injections of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), a biocompatible material that acts as a scaffold beneath the gum tissue. Rather than simply filling an area, the treatment encourages your body’s natural collagen production. This allows new tissue to develop gradually over the following weeks. It’s been cleared by the FDA for use in dental applications since 2003.

Most gum rejuvenation appointments take only about 15 to 30 minutes, allowing you to return to your normal routine right away. While many patients notice reduced tooth sensitivity within just a few days, your body continues producing new collagen over the next several weeks for gradual, natural-looking improvements.

It’s important to address gum recession, as it can affect more than your appearance. It can expose sensitive tooth roots, make eating and drinking uncomfortable. Receding gums can also create small gaps between teeth that collect plaque. Left untreated, it can also result in tooth loss.

Unfortunately, receding gums are a common problem. About half of individuals younger than 65 experience some degree of gum recession. The number is even higher, 85 percent, for people over 65.

Because every smile is unique, your dentist will perform a thorough evaluation before recommending treatment. Depending on your goals and the condition of your gums, your personalized treatment plan may include:

  • Gum Builder Rejuvenation – Carefully placed CaHA injections stimulate natural tissue regeneration to improve gum coverage and reduce sensitivity. You can create a fuller, healthier gumline without surgery.
  • Laser Gum Therapy – If gum disease is contributing to recession, gentle laser treatment may be recommended to remove infected tissue and create a healthier environment before or along with rejuvenation treatment.
  • Scaling and Root Planing – Deep cleaning below the gumline removes bacteria and tartar that can contribute to inflammation and continued gum recession, helping support long-term gum health.
  • Preventive Periodontal Care – Regular periodontal maintenance visits allow your dentist to monitor healing, maintain healthy gums. They can also determine when future maintenance treatments may be beneficial.

Know What to Expect After Gum Builder Treatment

Your gums continue to respond to Gum Builder well after your appointment. Depending on your gum recession and how much collagen your body produces, your dentist may recommend additional treatment sessions to help you achieve the best results.

As your gums respond to treatment, you can:

  • Complete Additional Sessions – You may benefit from up to three treatments spaced about six to eight weeks apart.
  • Recover with Minimal Disruption – Mild swelling, puffiness, or discomfort can occur after treatment, but these effects typically resolve quickly. An over-the-counter pain reliever will lessen any discomfort.
  • See Gradual Improvements – Your body continues producing collagen between appointments. This allows your gum tissue to rebuild naturally over time.
  • Get Personalized Monitoring – Your dentist will monitor your results and recommend further treatment when needed.
