Gum Grafting

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

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

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

Sedation or Local Anestethic

Gum graft surgery can be done with only a local anesthetic but
many people opt for sedation.
