Gum grafting at Southwest Dental Center restores lost gum tissue and protects exposed roots.
The procedure is safe, effective, and performed with your comfort in mind.
Dr. Rita George creates a customized plan based on your unique needs.
Risks and complications of gum grafts include temporary swelling, bruising, and bleeding, and in rare cases, infection or allergic reaction may occur. Early treatment helps prevent tooth sensitivity and further damage.
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that restores gum tissue that has receded due to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or other factors. The treatment involves adding new gum tissue to areas where it’s been lost, either from your own mouth or a donor source.
By covering exposed roots and rebuilding the gumline, we help you avoid further damage and restore your oral health.
Gum recession isn’t just a cosmetic issue—it can lead to serious dental problems. If left untreated, it may cause:
Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
Increased risk of decay along the root surface
Loose teeth or tooth loss
A “long-tooth” appearance in your smile
Southwest Dental Center offers expert gum grafting to protect your teeth and give you a healthier, more confident smile.
Your comfort is our priority. Dr. Rita George will carefully assess the extent of your gum loss and recommend the best grafting method for your needs. Most gum grafts involve:
Numbing the treatment area
Gently placing tissue to cover exposed roots
Securing the graft with small sutures
Clear aftercare instructions for healing
We use advanced tools and techniques to minimize discomfort and promote a smooth recovery.
Recovery is typically quick and manageable. You may need to stick to soft foods and use a special rinse while the area heals. Our team will guide you every step of the way, and follow-up visits with Southwest Dental Center ensure you’re healing properly and comfortably.
Don’t wait to treat gum recession – early treatment leads to better results. Call Southwest Dental Center at 260-444-5728 to book your appointment today. For more information, visit our Contact Us page.
