If you are looking for a solution to address an uneven gum line, excessive gum tissue, gum recession or asymmetry in the gum tissue around the teeth, gum grafting might be the ideal choice for you! Gum grafting can redefine your gum line so you will have no more reasons to avoid smiling! Sarcee Family Dental is pleased to offer gum grafting as a transformative option to help you achieve the radiant smile you have always envisioned!
Gum grafting is a dental procedure used to add tissue to areas where there is deficiency. It is designed to address various conditions related to gum recession, where the gums pull away from the teeth, exposing the roots. This recession can result from factors like periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, genetic predisposition or even hormonal changes. The Sarcee Family Dental team recommends gum grafting for patients experiencing heightened sensitivity to hot or cold foods, patients with visible tooth roots, and receded gumline or patients with an increased risk of tooth decay due to exposed roots. Additionally, individuals with aesthetic concerns about their smile due to gum recession can benefit significantly from this procedure.
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure aimed at treating receding gums by restoring lost tissue and preventing further gum recession. At Sarcee Family Dental, our skilled dental team performs gum grafting by first numbing the area with local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure. A small incision is made at the site where gum recession has occurred. Donor tissue, often sourced from your own palate or a tissue bank, is then carefully placed and secured over the exposed root surfaces. This graft encourages new tissue growth and helps cover the exposed roots to protect against sensitivity and decay. Over time the grafted tissue integrates with the existing gum tissue, enhancing the stability and health of the gums. Gum grafting at Sarcee Family Dental can effectively restore the natural contour of the gums and improve overall oral health, ensuring you have a healthier and more beautiful smile!
