Hyperplasia Treatment Montgomery, NJ

Oral soft tissue overgrowth, also known as hyperplasia, can cause discomfort, affect speech and interfere with oral function. This condition often develops due to irritation, ill-fitting dental appliances or certain medical conditions. Our office provides hyperplasia treatment in Montgomery, New Jersey, to help patients achieve healthier, more comfortable oral tissues.

Understanding Oral Hyperplasia

Hyperplasia refers to an excessive growth of gum or soft tissue in the mouth. It is often a response to chronic irritation, such as friction from dentures, orthodontic appliances or poor oral hygiene. In some cases, medication side effects or underlying health conditions contribute to tissue overgrowth.

Dr. Joyce Ma carefully evaluates each patient’s condition to determine the cause and recommends an appropriate treatment plan that improves comfort and oral health.

Signs You May Need Hyperplasia Treatment

Oral hyperplasia can develop gradually and may not always cause pain. However, common symptoms include:

• Enlarged or swollen gum tissue
• Discomfort or difficulty wearing dentures or braces
• Gum tissue covering part of the teeth
• Increased risk of plaque buildup and gum inflammation
• Changes in speech or eating habits due to excessive tissue growth

Early treatment can prevent further complications and improve overall oral function.

Treatment Options for Hyperplasia

The right treatment for hyperplasia depends on its severity and underlying cause. Some common treatment options include:

• Removing the Source of Irritation: Adjusting or replacing ill-fitting dentures or appliances to prevent further tissue overgrowth.
• Improved Oral Hygiene: Regular cleanings and better oral care habits to reduce inflammation and bacterial buildup.
• Non-Surgical Therapy: Medications or topical treatments to reduce swelling and discomfort.
• Surgical Removal: In severe cases, excess tissue may be carefully removed to restore normal gum structure and improve function.
