Restore Your Gumline With a Grafting Procedure

Gum recession is more common than you might think. While gum disease is the most common culprit, it can also be a result of hard brushing, injury to the mouth, or teeth grinding habits, just to name a few. If your dentist determines you need a gum graft to restore your smile, you can expect a comfortable procedure. During a gum graft, your dentist will place tissue (typically from a donor) onto the areas where your gums have receded.

However, before your dentist begins, they will use X-rays to get a full picture of your oral health and decide the best treatment for you. If you’re new to our office, we’ll also address any gum infections you might have. Our practice has a wide range of treatment options available to restore your gum health.

You don’t need to feel anxious about the procedure. Our team will make sure you’re comfortable by:

  • Numbing your mouth with a local anesthetic so you won’t feel any pain
  • Offering comfort amenities to help you relax
  • Providing comforts like a neck pillow, blanket, and headphones so you feel at ease

After your procedure, your dentist will give you aftercare instructions to protect the area. Plus, you should also plan to schedule your next checkup. To keep your gums healthy, you’ll want to visit us regularly for cleanings and exams.
