Gum Grafting – Sugar Land, TX
When recession of the gingiva occurs, the body loses a natural defense against both bacterial penetration and trauma. When gum recession is a problem, gum reconstruction using grafting techniques is an option.
When there is only minor recession, some healthy gingiva often remains and protects the tooth, so that no treatment other than modifying home care practices is necessary. However, when recession reaches the mucosa, the first line of defense against bacterial penetration is lost.
In addition, gum recession often results in root sensitivity to hot and cold foods as well as an unsightly appearance of the gum and tooth. When significant, gum recession can predispose to worsening recession and expose the root surface, which is softer than enamel, leading to root caries and root gouging.
before and after gum grafting
A gingival graft is designed to solve these problems. A thin piece of tissue is taken from the roof of the mouth or gently moved over from adjacent areas to provide a stable band of attached gingiva around the tooth. The gingival graft may be placed in such a way as to cover the exposed portion of the root.
The gingival graft procedure is highly predictable and results in a stable, healthy band of attached tissue around the tooth.

Patient Review
I was recommened to Dr. Condrey by my sister who raved about how she felt no pain after her procedure with Dr. Condrey. I thought she was exagerrating until I had my own experience. Dr. Condrey performed both dental implant and connective tissue graft surgeries on my mouth, and I was extremely pleased with the results of these procedures. All details pertaining to the procedures and recovery process were thoroughly explained. The front office staff, the doctor and his assistants all made sure I was comfortable and well taken care of before, during and after my procedures. Overall, I find Dr. Condrey to be a caring physician with impeccable bedside manners, and I definitely recommend his services.

I am a recent patient, Jan. 03, 2023, of Dr. Condrey. I had soft tissue grafting. From the time he finished until my two week follow up, I haven't had the first bit of pain. It's like I never had anything done.. I just had the stitches removed and will follow up again in March. Dr. Condrey has a wonderful friendly and professional office staff. Dr. Condrey is kind and gentle and makes you feel like family. I give the entire office a 5-Star rating!

I've been a patient at Dr. Condrey's office for more than 20 years. During a recent procedure, he and the staff were extremely professional, and made me feel comfortable and reassured during the dental surgery. I received clear and concise information about post-surgery care to help ensure the best healing, and he also texted me to check on how I was doing. He and his team are a great resource in the Sugar Land area for periodontics.

Let me start by admitting that I'm one of the pickiest people I know! I was introduced to Dr. Condrey after enduring what I considered to be a "botch job" from another periodontist. Oh how I wish I had visited Dr. Condrey's office first!!! He fixed EVERYTHING and actually cared about my concerns as much as I did. He's detail oriented and absolutely awesome! His staff is top notch, friendly, prompt, knowledgeable and helpful. I would gladly recommend Dr. Condrey and his staff over any other!
