Gum Grafting

Restore Your Gum Health & Protect Your Teeth

Are your gums receding, exposing your tooth roots, or making your teeth appear longer? Gum recession can lead to tooth sensitivity, decay, and even tooth loss if left untreated. This can lead to tooth sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and even tooth loss if left untreated. At Van Orman Dental, we offer gum grafting, a specialized procedure that restores healthy gum tissue, protects your teeth, and enhances your smile.

What is Gum Grafting?

Gums grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces lost or thinning gum tissue with healthy donor tissue, usually taken from your mouth or a biocompatible source. This helps to:

  • Cover exposed tooth roots to reduce sensitivity
  • Protect against further gum recession
  • Improve the appearance of your smile
  • Enhance gum health & prevent future complications

Who Needs Gum Grafting?

  • Receding gums due to gum disease, aging, or aggressive brushing
  • Exposed tooth roots, causing sensitivity or pain
  • Thin or weakened gums are at risk of further recession
  • Aesthetic concerns, wanting a fuller, healthier gum line

The Gum Grafting Procedure:- Local anesthesia for a pain-free experience. Gum tissue is harvested from the palate or a donor source and placed over the affected area. Precision suturing to secure the graft in place.

Recovery & Aftercare: – Mild discomfort managed with medication & soft diet recommendations. Healing typically takes 1-2 weeks with follow-up visits to ensure success. Proper oral hygiene guidance to maintain gum health.

Don’t let gum recession compromise your oral health or smile aesthetics. Contact Van Orman Dental today for expert gum grafting treatment! During the procedure, a periodontist or dentist takes healthy gum tissue—usually from the roof of your mouth or a donor source—and attaches it to the areas where the gum has receded. Over time, this grafted tissue integrates with your existing gums and helps cover the exposed tooth roots. This exposure can cause tooth sensitivity, make teeth appear longer, and increase the risk of decay or damage.
