Had bad recession all over, especially on canine and front teeth. My gums were very thin. Dr. Yu did grafts and really saved my teeth. He has a method of taking the tissue from the side of the mouth roof (not the top). He is able to cut a flap, take from under and cover back over. I heard so may bad stories about being in pain. I did end up with exposed sores. I don't have a lot of tissue to take but he was able to do it. Surgery was on Thursday. On Saturday, I took out the retainer for eating. I had about 10 teeth done in one appointment. All of the grafts took. He worked on my mouth for about 1.5 hours. You have to be careful eating but it's not impossible. I rested 5 days before going back to work, ate soup and rinsed with mouth wash often. If you don't move around a lot, there is no need for heavy pain killers. My front teeth were beginning to wiggle a bit. They are totally solid now. No more sore areas around the gums. Dr. Yu saved my teeth. Worked with me on the price. My insurance was not that great. Dr. Yu is amazing and staff is the very best. It gave me hope again, very positive experience. The gums look good and totally normal now. My dentist said that the grafts were the best he had seen.

About Hygienist: You can tell the staff are some of the best in the city. This place is a first rate operation. They have a new state of the art surgery center. Dr. Yu's hygienist did a complementary stain removal. The mouth wash stains but comes off with cleaning. They worked with me on how to brush.
