Your smile is one of the first things people notice when they see you. Don’t let the fear of receding gums or painful, exposed roots stop you from shining your light. Gum grafting is a periodontal procedure that can restore gum health, improve oral aesthetics, and protect against further recession. If you’re experiencing gum recession or have exposed tooth roots, gum grafting can help you regain healthy gums and prevent future damage to your dental health. This non-surgical, restorative treatment is a valuable solution for those suffering from gum disease or periodontal disease.

Healthy Gums, Healthy Life
Gum grafting is a procedure designed to restore gum tissue that has receded due to gum disease, aging, or other factors. Healthy tissue is carefully harvested from your mouth (or a donor source) and grafted to the affected area. This process helps restore the gum line and protects exposed tooth roots from further damage. With advancements in technology, gum grafting is more comfortable and effective than ever before.
Restore and Renew
Gum grafting can greatly improve your oral health and quality of life.
Is Gum Grafting Right for You?
Ideal candidates for gum grafting are those suffering from gum recession, exposed roots, or advanced periodontal disease. If you're experiencing symptoms such as loose teeth, bleeding gums, or deep pockets between teeth and gums, gum grafting may be the solution. Additionally, individuals seeking to restore lost tissue or improve the aesthetics of their gum line may benefit from this procedure. If infected tissue is left untreated, your risks of further gum recession, bone loss (which can lead to loose or missing teeth), and even heart disease can increase. Certain health conditions, such as untreated gum disease or advanced periodontitis, may need to be addressed prior to treatment to remove infected tissue before grafting.
Bring Back Your Confidence
During your consultation, Dr. Cassandra will evaluate your gum health and assess the extent of recession or gum disease. She will also review your medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate for the procedure. If necessary, a treatment plan will be created, and you’ll be given instructions on how to prepare for your gum grafting surgery. Preparation may include a discussion about any necessary adjustments to medications or lifestyle changes to promote healing.
Rebuild Your Dream Smile
Gum grafting is performed under local anesthesia to make sure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The length of the procedure can vary depending on the amount of grafting needed, but it generally takes up to two hours. The procedure involves gently removing a small amount of skin tissue from a donor area (typically from the roof of the mouth, but sometimes from another suitable area) and carefully placing it over the receded gums. If necessary, non-surgical treatments like root planing or deep cleaning may be done to address any underlying gum disease. The area is then sutured in place to promote healing. It is important to follow proper aftercare instructions to avoid infection.
After your gum grafting procedure, you will begin to notice improvements in your gum line as the tissue heals. The recovery period takes about one to two weeks, during which you may experience mild discomfort or swelling. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, but should still avoid high-stress activities for the first week. Following Dr. Cassandra’s post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding hard or crunchy foods and maintaining good oral hygiene, will help prevent infection and promote healing. Over time, the grafted tissue will integrate with your natural gums, providing a healthier, more stable foundation for your teeth.
Affordable Care for a Better Smile
Gum grafting cost can vary depending on the severity of your condition, the technique used, and the amount of tissue required. Every treatment is customized to fit your specific needs. Factors such as the need for anesthesia, surgical fees, and post-operative care may also affect the overall cost. We will provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation, ensuring you fully understand the financial investment required to restore your gum health.

Gum grafting is generally well-tolerated with local anesthesia. Most experience only mild discomfort during the procedure, and post-treatment discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
The downtime after gum grafting is minimal. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, but should avoid strenuous exercise for a week or two.
With proper care, gum grafting results can last for many years. Healthy gums and good oral hygiene can significantly extend the lifespan of your gum graft.
While some non-surgical treatments, like deep cleaning and scaling, can help manage early-stage gum recession, gum grafting is the most effective treatment for advanced gum recession.
It’s never too late to address gum recession, but the sooner treatment is sought, the better. In advanced cases of gum recession, more extensive treatments may be needed to restore gum tissue and prevent further damage.
