What is Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting is a periodontal procedure that restores gum tissue lost to recession by transplanting healthy tissue to areas where the gumline has worn away. The treatment protects exposed tooth roots, reduces sensitivity, and helps prevent further damage to the underlying bone and tooth structure.

Benefits of Gum Grafting

1.

Natural Protection

Covering exposed roots shields them from decay, sensitivity, and damage caused by everyday brushing and chewing.

2.

Reduced Sensitivity

Restoring gum tissue over exposed roots significantly reduces discomfort from hot, cold, and sweet foods and drinks.

3.

Prevents Recession

A successful graft halts the progression of gum recession and stabilizes the gumline for long-term oral health.

4.

Preserved Structure

Restoring gum tissue helps protect the underlying bone from the loss that often follows untreated recession.

5.

Renewed Confidence

A restored gumline creates a more balanced, even appearance and gives your smile a healthier, more youthful look.

Aggressive brushing, genetics, grinding, and even orthodontic treatment can all contribute to a receding gumline over time.

Our Gentle Approach

Exam & Imaging

Our specialist evaluates your gum health, takes detailed imaging, and creates a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Comfortable Care

The treatment area is thoroughly numbed, and sedation options are available for patients who feel anxious about the procedure.

Graft Placement

Healthy tissue is carefully placed and secured over the area of recession, where it will integrate with your existing gum tissue.

Recovery Guidance

You’ll head home with clear aftercare instructions and a direct line to our team to support you through a smooth recovery.

How long does it take to recover from gum grafting?

Most patients feel significantly better within a week or two, with full healing of the gum tissue taking several weeks. Our team will provide clear aftercare instructions and follow up to make sure your recovery is going smoothly.
