I'm an adult and I had braces on my teeth as a child but, unfortunately, I didn't maintain them and they grew crooked with time so I decided to put them on again. My orthodontist was concerned about the limited amount of gum tissue that I had around many of my teeth (I'm sure due to my poor brushing habits as a kid) and she referred me to Dr. Matian. I didn't want to go to Dr. Matian's office but I had already paid for my braces and had no choice. When Dr. Matian saw me he advised me that I needed a gum graft in regard to those teeth that had such little gum tissue. As much as I didn't want to agree with him, I knew that he was right but I had never heard of gum grafts. Of course, it was totally uncomfortable looking forward to the procedure but I have to admit Dr. Matian was amazing; literally, amazing. I underwent the procedure with simple novocaine shots to the gums and roof of my mouth (not easy but definitely tolerable and I do believe that Dr. Matian masterfully handled the needle). The final result, now 6 months later, is truly miraculous. I had no idea that anyone was capable of doing this. I have totally healthy, full gum tissue around all of those teeth and I'm now wearing my braces. He's fantastic!
