Protect Your Oral Health With a Gum Graft

Gum recession can happen as a result of gum disease, aging, or brushing with too much pressure, exposing the roots of your teeth and causing increased sensitivity. Without proper treatment, receding gums can raise the chances of tooth decay and may eventually contribute to bone deterioration.

At Westlake Family Dentistry, we use advanced tissue restoration methods to rebuild your gumline and protect your teeth. This treatment helps decrease sensitivity while also protecting you from oral health problems like cavities and gum disease.

We customize each procedure to match your unique needs, allowing you to enjoy a healthier and more appealing smile.

Heal Faster With Advanced Techniques

To enhance healing and improve results, your dentist can use Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), which accelerates tissue regeneration by using your body's natural growth factors. This method encourages quicker healing, eases discomfort, and lowers the chances of complications.

To keep you at ease during your gum graft procedure, we provide sedation choices such as laughing gas and oral conscious sedation. This ensures a peaceful and stress-free experience.

I’m such a baby about any dental work, but my phobia is gone thanks to Dr Sievert and his caring staff. Even complicated procedures are painless. His hygienists are thorough but gentle. And Tracy and Susan run the office really well and make it a pleasure to walk in. Oh, and my teeth look great!

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Grafts

How do gum grafts work?

If your gums recede due to gum disease or other factors, your tooth roots can be exposed. This causes uncomfortable sensitivity to hot and cold substances. It also makes you more susceptible to dental decay and other problems and can even result in losing teeth. To avoid these issues, we can remove tissue from another part of your mouth and transfer it to your gums during a grafting procedure.
Are gum grafts worth it?

Your gums play a vital role in maintaining good oral health. Healthy teeth depend on healthy gums! Rebuilding your gumline not only enhances your smile's appearance but also prevents issues like sensitivity. It also reduces the risk of cavities and other dental concerns, ensuring long-term oral health.

How long does it take for gum grafts to heal?

It usually takes only a week or two for a gum graft to heal. However, you will feel better very soon after the procedure. Any minor discomfort is usually easy to manage with over-the-counter medication. We'll provide you with complete instructions to ensure a speedy and healthy recovery. You'll need to be careful brushing and flossing for a few days and may need to avoid certain foods as well.
