Juneau Gum Grafting
Gum grafting is a high-tech, minimally invasive gum recession treatment
Mark S. Riederer, D.D.S.
“Gum recession is fast becoming a dental health crisis and I want to make sure my patients are aware of the risks.
Genetics, the natural aging process, and other factors all contribute to gum disease and gum recession. When left untreated, bacterial growth, lost teeth, and many other negative health effects are possible.
For decades, the only available gum recession treatment was painful surgery with inconsistent results.
Fortunately, times have changed and there are new high-tech and minimally invasive treatment options.
I’m trained and certified in modern gum grafting procedures. It’s a great way to treat gum recession and take control of your health.”
Why Do Patients Choose Gum Grafting?
- No scalpel and no stitches
- Visible results in 1 treatment
- Quick to heal
- Promotes healthy teeth and gum health
- Improves your smile and self confidence
- Long lasting results you’ll love
What to Expect
Our gum grafting treatment is nothing like the invasive and painful gum recession treatments of the past. Unlike traditional gum recession surgery, we use high-tech precision instruments to realign gum tissue over the exposed roots of your teeth without a scalpel or sutures. With us, you won’t need any tissue grafts, you’ll heal quickly, and you’ll see immediate cosmetic results. The procedure only takes 1-2 hours and most patients don’t need prescription pain medication to recover.
Gum disease and gum recession can’t be ignored.
Left untreated, gum recession can cause:
Tooth decay
Infection and abscess
Painful, swollen, and bleeding gums
Bone loss

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Recession & Gum Grafting
What steps can I take to prevent gum recession?
- Brushing your teeth too aggressively – Brushing gently with proper technique can help reduce your risk of gum disease and recession

- Using tobacco products – Cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, and other tobacco products increase your risk of gum recession and many other serious health problems
- Tooth grinding – Most common while sleeping, grinding and clenching can lead to gum recession
- Crooked teeth – A misaligned bite with crooked teeth can put pressure on your teeth and jawbone, leading to gum recession
In addition, genetics, hormonal fluctuations, and the natural aging process can also contribute to gum recession.
