Gum grafting is a specialized procedure designed to restore receding gums, protect your teeth, and improve the appearance of your smile. Receding gums can expose the tooth roots, making your teeth more vulnerable to decay, sensitivity, and even tooth loss. At Dunkirk Dental Specialists, we offer advanced gum grafting techniques to help you maintain healthy gums and a confident smile. Whether you’re experiencing gum recession due to periodontal disease or other factors, our experienced team is here to provide the care you need.
What is Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that involves taking tissue from another area of your mouth, such as the palate, or using donor tissue to cover exposed tooth roots. This procedure is commonly performed to treat gum recession, reduce sensitivity, and prevent further damage to the teeth and gums. Gum grafting not only improves your oral health but also enhances the aesthetics of your smile by reshaping and strengthening the gum line.
Signs You Need Gum Grafting
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may be a candidate for gum grafting:
The Gum Grafting Process
The gum grafting process typically involves taking tissue from the roof of your mouth or using donor tissue and attaching it to the areas of recession. The procedure begins with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Once the tissue is harvested or prepared, it is carefully sutured into place over the exposed roots or receding gum areas. Over time, the graft integrates with your existing gum tissue, promoting healing and a healthier gum line. After the procedure, you will be given specific aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and achieve optimal results.
