Protect And Restore
Why Would I Need Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting is often recommended if you're experiencing gum recession. This condition can occur due to several factors, including aggressive brushing, periodontal disease, or genetics. Receding gums can leave your tooth roots exposed, making them more susceptible to decay and sensitivity. Gum grafting helps to cover these exposed areas, reduce sensitivity, improve the appearance of your smile, and protect your teeth from further recession.
The Gum Grafting Treatment Process
Step 1
The first step involves a thorough examination of your gums to determine the extent of your recession and the health of your gums. We'll discuss your medical history, any medications you're taking, and your oral hygiene routine. This consultation helps us tailor the treatment to your specific needs and ensures that gum grafting is the right choice for you.
Step 2
During the grafting procedure, we’ll carefully transplant healthy gum tissue—usually taken from the roof of your mouth—to the affected areas. Our focus is on minimizing discomfort and ensuring precise, aesthetically pleasing results.
Step 3
After the procedure, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. This includes guidelines on eating, oral hygiene, and any necessary follow-up appointments. It's important to follow these instructions closely to ensure the best possible healing and outcomes. Our team is always available to answer any questions and provide support throughout your recovery.
