Why Gum Grafts Matter

Gum recession happens for a variety of reasons. No matter the cause, grafting can replace or reinforce the protective barrier around your teeth. As a result, you will:

Gain Stronger Support - Gum grafts help protect teeth from shifting or loosening over time.
Reduce Tooth Sensitivity - By covering exposed roots, you will find relief from sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets.
Achieve a Healthier Smile - Grafting smooths and balances the gumline. You reduce the appearance of long teeth or uneven tissue.
Lower Your Risk of Decay - Covered roots are far less prone to damage, keeping natural teeth healthier longer.

You'll leave our office with stronger support for your teeth and renewed confidence in your smile.

Reinforce Gum Health

Because all care is handled by our in-house periodontist, you'll receive expert treatment. Our team pays close attention to comfort and healing throughout. You can expect:

Custom Treatment Planning - We assess the level of gum recession and the health of surrounding teeth. Your periodontist will determine the best grafting technique for your needs.
Choice of Material - We'll recommend either using your own tissue (typically from the roof of the mouth) or a donor graft.
Comfort Options - Local anesthetic is always used. We also offer laughing gas if you prefer extra relaxation.
Precise Placement - Your graft is placed with care. We'll secure the tissue as it heals naturally into place.

If you're noticing signs of gum recession or have been told you require a graft, you don't have to navigate it alone. Schedule a consultation for gum grafts in Belmont.

Does a gum graft hurt?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. We use local anesthetic to completely numb the area, and offer laughing gas for added ease if desired. Recovery is usually straightforward. Many patients return to normal activities the next day with only minor adjustments to diet and brushing.

How do I know if I need a gum graft?

If you've noticed your teeth looking longer, have tooth sensitivity near the gumline, or have been diagnosed with recession, a gum graft may be recommended. Our in-house periodontist will examine your gum health and explain whether grafting can protect your teeth or improve your gumline.

Is gum grafting only for cosmetic reasons?

Not at all. While grafting does improve the appearance of the gumline, it's primarily done to prevent further gum loss, cover exposed roots, and protect the health of your teeth. The added cosmetic benefit is just a bonus for most patients.
