Gain a Healthier Smile

Gum grafting replaces lost gum tissue, whether it's caused by gum disease or injury. The treatment will reduce sensitivity and strengthen your smile.

Before your graft, we first ensure your gums are free from infection. Your dentist can recommend comprehensive gum disease treatments to restore your health.

Once your gums are in good condition, we perform the graft using your own tissue, donor tissue, or biocompatible synthetic material. This procedure protects your tooth roots, reduces discomfort, and enhances your overall smile.

If your gum recession is mild to moderate, your periodontist may use the Pinhole Surgical Technique. It's a minimally invasive alternative that repositions existing gum tissue without the need for grafts or sutures.

They communicate via text occasionally which is much more convenient than getting on the phone sometimes! All good things from this group. They have a client for life. Even my eldest until he aged out of my family insurance came back for his cleanings rather than find one closer to his home!

Dr. Narendra and Brandy are the best. I had such a wonderful experience. The procedure went smooth. I did not feel any pain at all because they scheduled the proper time in between medication perfectly. No swelling or pain at all. Wonderful job.

Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling. She has been so helpful to me especially during times when there was difficulty getting my insurer to approve specialty treatments. I would also like to point out all the pleasant conversations I had with Daisha... Extremely friendly yet professional staff especially Brandy who works in scheduling.

Common Questions About Gum Grafts

What is a gum grafting procedure?

A gum graft is a type of periodontal surgery that adds tissue to areas where your gums have receded. The procedure involves taking tissue from your palate or using donor tissue and attaching it to your existing gumline. This creates coverage for exposed tooth roots and prevents further recession. Most grafts can be completed in a single appointment, though healing continues for several weeks.

How long does recovery take after a gum graft?

Most patients can return to work or normal activities within one to two days following the procedure. Complete healing of the graft site typically takes several weeks, depending on the type of graft performed. You'll notice significant improvement in how your gums look and feel within the first two weeks. Follow-up appointments will monitor your healing progress and ensure optimal results.

Are there foods I should avoid after the procedure?

You'll need to avoid hard, crunchy, spicy, or acidic foods for the first week to prevent irritation to the surgical site. Soft foods like yogurt, eggs, pasta, and smoothies are recommended during the initial healing phase. Hot foods and beverages should be allowed to cool to room temperature to prevent discomfort. Your dentist will provide a detailed list of dietary guidelines based on your specific situation.
