Also known as gingival grafts, these are surgical procedures that add tissue to areas where your gums have pulled away from your teeth. The grafted tissue covers exposed roots, rebuilds your gumline, and prevents further recession. Whether you’re dealing with sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, or early signs of periodontal disease, gum grafts offer a reliable way to healthier gums.
Dr. Joseph Field takes a meticulous approach to every procedure, ensuring proper tissue placement and optimal healing conditions. Our focus on precision and patient comfort leads to natural-looking results that stand the test of time.
To achieve your healthiest gumline, we offer the following options:
Tissue harvested from beneath the palate to effectively cover exposed roots.
Tissue taken directly from the palate surface to add thickness to thin gums.
Adjacent gum tissue repositioned to cover recession near the donor site.
Your treatment follows a straightforward process designed for your comfort. Here’s what to expect:
During your initial visit, Dr. Joseph Field evaluates your gum health and discusses your symptoms and goals. Together, we determine whether these are the right solution for you.
We administer local anesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Your safety and ease are our top priorities during this step.
Dr. Field carefully obtains donor tissue and secures it over the areas of recession. Each graft is precisely positioned to promote proper healing and a seamless appearance.
After your grafts are in place, we provide clear aftercare guidance to support your healing journey and help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Why do so many patients choose this to address recession? Here are the key advantages:
Decreased sensitivity by shielding exposed roots from hot, cold, and acidic substances.
Enhanced smile aesthetics through a fuller, more balanced gumline.
Halted recession that prevents further gum and bone loss around affected teeth.
Root protection that reduces your risk of cavities on vulnerable surfaces.
Stronger foundation for your teeth that supports long-term oral health.
These are an excellent option for individuals who:
Notice increased tooth sensitivity caused by root exposure from receding gums.
Wish to stop the gum recession before it leads to more serious dental problems.
Want to improve the appearance of an uneven or receding gumline.
Need reliable treatment to address periodontal issues affecting their smile.
If you have healthy teeth but are experiencing gum recession, this could be the right solution.
Proper aftercare helps your gum grafts heal well and last for years. Keep these tips in mind:
Brush carefully with a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoid the graft site until healed.
Choose soft, cool foods and skip anything crunchy, spicy, or acidic during recovery.
Regular checkups allow us to track your healing and monitor your periodontal health.
