GRAFT Periodontics is AMAZING!!! They are completely worth it! THANK YOU so much
My Story:
Last Fall (2014) I was refferred by a friend of the family to go to GRAFT Periodontics about a gum graft I needed to get on my lower front teeth. My gumline had receeded so much it was beginning to become a problem. To be honest, the thought of getting a gum graft terrified me. I've heard horror stories of how bad some grafts could be. So going into their office, I was VERY nervous and I told them that.
Dr. Joslin and her staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient with me. Despite my expressed concerns about the procedure, they remained cool and patient with me and gave LOTS of information about the process. They were happy to answer any and all questions I had and made such a wonderful and successful effort to make sure I was comfortable.
I got the procedure done and I wish I could tell you how it went, because really, I opted for the sedation and I honestly can't remember a thing. Apprently it all went smoothly. A friend was with me to get me home afterwards. I woke up on the couch with a sore jaw and an icepack they provided.
I am a HUGE wimp when it comes to pain. That was one of my big fears going into this. I can tell you, advil covered it pretty well. The stitches from where they take the gum do get irritated by the tongue sometimes and that will cause it to hurt. However, at it's worst, the pain was as tolerable as a bad canker sore in the mouth or if you lightly burned your palette on something hot and there's that lingering tingle. The pain after getting my wisdom teeth pulled was far worse than this.
Try not to feel that healing area where they sampled the gum from with your tongue though. The texture feels all weird for the first month and a half and if you have an overactive imagination like me, it'll feel like you're missing more than you bargained for. SOOOOO not what they did though. They just took a little sample and that's all.
It's been 3 months from that day (as I write this) and the graft is seamless. You would never have guessed I got it done. I'm all healed up and so much happier for it.
I can't thank Dr. Joslin and her staff enough for their WONDERFUL conduct and skill. I would most absolutely recommend GRAFT Periodontics to anybody who needed a graft done. Especially to anybody who fears the dentist or mouth tinkering in general. These people are fantasic and not scary at all!
PS - The price of their service is also completely worth it. read more
