Address receding gums, reduce tooth sensitivity, and enhance your smile’s aesthetics with our effective gum grafting procedures.
Gum recession can lead to various oral health issues and aesthetic concerns. You might need gum grafting if you are experiencing:
Gums pulling away from teeth, exposing the root surface.
Pain or discomfort when consuming hot, cold, or sweet foods.
Teeth appearing longer than normal, or an uneven gum line.
Increased risk of decay on the exposed root surfaces.
Gum grafting is a periodontal surgical procedure designed to treat gum recession. It involves taking healthy gum tissue from another area of your mouth (usually the palate) or using donor tissue, and then carefully attaching it to the area where the gum has receded. This procedure covers exposed tooth roots, reduces sensitivity, protects against further recession and decay, and improves the overall appearance of your smile. Gum grafting is crucial for maintaining long-term oral health and preventing tooth loss.

Common Questions About Gum Grafting
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with prescribed medication.
Initial healing typically takes 1-2 weeks, with full healing and integration of the graft taking several months.
Tissue can be taken from your palate (connective tissue graft), from a donor (allograft), or, in some cases, synthetic materials can be used. Our periodontist will discuss the best option for you.
Good oral hygiene, gentle brushing techniques, regular dental check-ups, and addressing underlying issues like gum disease can help prevent gum recession.
