Gum Grafting
Gum Grafting
Receding gums can expose tooth roots, increase sensitivity, and affect the appearance of your smile. We offer gum grafting to restore lost tissue, protect your teeth, and enhance the overall health and aesthetics of your gums. This simple, effective procedure can help you regain both comfort and confidence.
What Is Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that adds tissue to areas where the gums have receded. This tissue may be taken from the roof of your mouth or provided by a donor source, and is carefully grafted over exposed roots or thinning gum tissue.
Gum recession can be caused by:
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Aggressive brushing
- Genetics
- Orthodontic treatment
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Without treatment, gum recession can lead to root sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and even tooth loss.
What to Expect from the Procedure
Gum grafting is typically performed under local anesthesia and may take one or more visits depending on the extent of recession. The process includes:
- Preparing the affected area
- Harvesting or selecting the graft material
- Securing the tissue to the treatment site
- Providing post-op care instructions and follow-up monitoring
Recovery is usually mild, with minimal discomfort that improves over a few days. Our team will guide you every step of the way.
