Enhance Your Dental Health by Restoring Your Gums

Gum grafting can enhance both the look and health of your smile. However, your dentist will first make sure your gums are in good health before moving forward with the grafting. For example, you may first need gum disease treatment. When your smile is ready, you can expect:

  • Personalized Grafting Options - We use tissue from your own mouth, a donor, or synthetic material.
  • Comfortable Experience - Your mouth will be numb. However, sedation is available if needed for your comfort.
  • Reduced Sensitivity - Enjoy your favorite meals without dealing with sensitivity from exposed tooth roots.
  • More Balanced Smile - While primarily for health, grafting enhances your smile's appearance too.

Common Questions About Gum Grafts

How do gum grafts work?
Receding gums can expose the roots of your teeth, often due to gum disease or other causes. This exposure can make your teeth sensitive to temperature changes and more prone to decay, potentially leading to tooth loss. To prevent these problems, we can perform a grafting procedure, where we carefully move tissue from another area of your mouth to strengthen your gums.
Are gum grafts worth it?

Gum grafts are a valuable investment in your dental health, helping to keep your teeth secure and intact. By choosing this procedure, you can avoid the expense and hassle of tooth replacement. Healthy gums are crucial for dental implants, so a gum graft opens up more options for you. Additionally, it can enhance your smile by addressing receding gums and exposed roots.

How long does it take for gum grafts to heal?

After your gum graft, you can expect to feel better soon, with full healing usually within a week or two. Any slight discomfort is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief. We'll provide you with detailed guidance to ensure a smooth recovery. Remember to be gentle when brushing and flossing for a few days, and you may need to avoid some foods for a short time.
