Treat Gum Disease
with Gum Grafting

Gum disease is becoming more common today and one way to address it
is with gum grafting. This is where a surgeon takes soft tissue from the roof of your mouth and attaches it to gums to create healthier gums.

When to Consider
Gum Grafting

Affordable Dental Care Vaughan

Gum grafting is done when periodontitis has destroyed gum tissue and it needs to be replaced.

Affordable Dental Care Vaughan

It is needed when gum disease destroys enough tissue that the tooth roots are exposed.

It can be one on one tooth or several, depending on the case.

Before Considering Surgery

A dentist will examine you and could recommend gum grafting. You will go to a periodontist who will take a look at the pockets developed between your gums and teeth and measure how much your gums have recessed. They will either recommend going ahead with surgery or will suggest it be monitored for a while

Gum Grafting FAQs

What is gum grafting?
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure where the oral surgeon takes soft tissue from your mouth roof and attaches it to receding gums. The purpose is to try to grow healthier gums again in patients with gum disease.
Why might someone need a gum graft?
Those who have gum disease or periodontitis have gums that are being destroyed. Gums start receding and that exposes tooth roots. It could lead to tooth loss if something isn’t done. Gum grafts are a way of restoring gum tissue.
Is gum grafting done on just one tooth or many?
It can be done on a single tooth or on multiple teeth.
How does the dentist decide if I need gum grafting?
An exam is done where a dentist or periodontist measures gum pockets and recession. That determines where gum grafting is necessary.
Will I need anesthesia or sedation for gum graft surgery?
We can use a local anesthetic, but many patients choose to use sedation for more comfort.
What does the grafting procedure involve?
The process includes taking the tissue from either your mouth roof or under the top layer of your mouth roof and stitching it around your gums.
