When can I return to work after gum graft surgery?
I would recommend that you have all 4 areas completed because there would be less appointments, less prescriptions, and with each soft tissue grafting, there is a period of about 3-4 weeks of a soft diet. So overall, there would be much less impact on your lifestyle, time off work, amount of medications , if you did them all at one time. READ MORE

Dr Rebecca Wagner is certified to offer a simple, quick and safe outpatient treatment for gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. Gum disease is as an infection of the tissues that support the teeth, the condition affects over 60% adult Americans. The LANAP® protocol is an FDA-cleared laser treatment developed by Millennium Dental Technologies, Inc. to clear away diseased tissue without cutting or stitching of the gums.
“With the availability of the LANAP protocol, we now have a patient-friendly treatment option for managing gum disease,” “The procedure is fast, often painless and yields predictable results. It is also the only laser gum surgery backed with histological and clinical science. By reducing post-operative pain, the number of sessions required and the recovery time, the LANAP treatment removes many of the reasons that so many patients hesitate to seek treatment for periodontal disease.”

She then obtained her Master of Science degree in Periodontology from The University of Michigan School of Dentistry.
