The True Impact of Receding Gums
When the tissue around your teeth pulls back, it can make your teeth look much longer than they actually are. More importantly, it leaves you wincing when you drink something cold or brush a little too hard. This happens because the delicate root of the tooth is no longer protected. At Periodent & Co, we know how much this can impact both your daily physical comfort and your confidence when you smile.
Dr. Alexandra González, our dedicated periodontist, focuses strictly on restoring this protective tissue. Her approach is designed to give you back a comfortable, natural-looking smile while actively protecting your teeth from future damage. By addressing the root cause of the recession—whether it is from aggressive brushing, genetics, or past inflammation—we can create a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.

What is Root Coverage Surgery?
When patients visit our clinic, they often ask what this surgery actually involves. Root coverage surgery is a highly specialized microsurgical technique used to gently reposition tissue over the exposed tooth root. Unlike a standard gum graft in Tijuana which primarily focuses on thickening the tissue to stop further recession, root coverage specifically aims to bring the line of your tissue back to its original, natural position.
During the procedure, Dr. González carefully moves adjacent tissue or uses a small, sterile piece of donor tissue to cover the exposed area. The result is a seamless, functional barrier that blends perfectly with your existing smile. Because we use advanced, minimally invasive techniques, the integration of the new tissue is highly predictable and visually natural.

Health and Aesthetic Benefits Combined
While many patients come to us because they are unhappy with the “toothy” appearance of their smile, the medical benefits of this procedure are just as critical. The root of your tooth does not have the hard enamel coating that the upper crown does. When it is exposed, it is highly susceptible to decay, often leading to cavities forming directly on the root itself. These root cavities can spread quickly and threaten the entire tooth.
By covering the root, we immediately reduce painful sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures. We also protect the tooth from decay and prevent the underlying bone from breaking down. For patients looking for a complete transformation, this surgery is often a necessary foundation before starting a complete smile design or placing porcelain veneers. A beautiful smile requires a balanced, symmetrical frame, and root coverage provides exactly that.

A Comfortable Experience and Smooth Recovery
It is completely normal to feel a bit anxious about any oral surgery. However, our patients are consistently surprised by how comfortable the process actually is. We use precise local anesthesia so you do not feel sharp pain during the treatment.
The recovery process is also much smoother than most anticipate. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness for a few days, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. We provide you with very specific aftercare instructions, including what to eat and how to keep the area clean without disturbing the new tissue. Our team at Periodent & Co is always available to answer your questions during your recovery, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
