Receding Gums Treatment
If Dr. Jody Vance finds that you have receding gums, he may recommend PST™ to restore the gum line and create a healthy smile. This minimally invasive procedure involves loosening the gum tissue using a special tool and then moving the tissue over the areas missing gum tissue. Collagen strips are placed to hold the tissue in its new position and to promote proper healing of the treatment area. Multiple teeth can be treated in a single visit and this can be a corrective procedure for patients with sensitive teeth and gums.

Treating Receding Gums with PST™
PST™ was developed by a dentist and is a patented procedure. It is considered to be a breakthrough treatment for gum recession because it offers so many benefits to the patient and does not require cutting of the gums. Gum grafting is procedure for treating gum recession, but does involve incisions and sutures, as well as a longer recovery period. PST™ is an effective gum grafting alternative and does not require removing additional tissue.
