Gingival augmentation is a specialized periodontal procedure designed to increase the band of attached gum tissue surrounding teeth. This treatment is often necessary in cases of gum recession where root coverage is not practical or possible—such as in the lower front teeth or in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Traditionally, this procedure required harvesting tissue from the roof of the mouth, which can be painful and limited by how much donor tissue is available.

At BAK Implant Studio, we offer an advanced alternative using AlloDerm®—a sterile, acellular dermal matrix derived from donated human tissue. AlloDerm allows for a virtually unlimited supply of graft material, eliminating the need for a second surgical site and significantly reducing post-operative pain and recovery time. This technique is ideal for treating large areas of gum recession, preparing for orthodontic treatment, or improving gum health where root coverage is not indicated. Drs. Imberman and Bak has extensive experience using AlloDerm and has achieved excellent outcomes in increasing the band of keratinized gingiva without the complications of traditional grafting methods.
