If your gums recede due to gum disease or other factors, your tooth roots can be exposed. This causes uncomfortable sensitivity to hot and cold substances. It also makes you more susceptible to dental decay and other problems and can even result in losing teeth. To avoid these issues, we can remove tissue from another part of your mouth and transfer it to your gums during a grafting procedure.
Gum grafts are worth it because they keep your teeth intact. You can avoid the cost and hassle of replacing lost teeth. Since you can’t get dental implants without healthy gums, your tooth replacement options would also be limited without a gum graft. A gum graft can also restore the appearance of a smile that has receding gums and exposed tooth roots.
Gum grafts usually take a week or two to heal, with minor discomfort that can be easily managed with over-the-counter medication. We will give you complete recovery instructions to ensure a healthy and speedy recovery. It is important to be cautious with brushing and flossing and avoid certain foods for a few days after the procedure.
