Sometimes after an extraction, a sunken area or concave appearance will
develop in your gum line. This looks unsightly and can also jeopardize the
appearance of a bridge that goes over the area. Grafting material can be
inserted under the gum to fill out this depression.
Procedure: The periodontist administers conscious IV sedation and a local anesthetic, and then gently opens the area. He then fills the sunken area with grafting material. After healing, the implant or bridge can be completed with a successful result.
