Do you need a gum graft?
Dr. Pumphrey or Dr. Richman may recommend gum grafting to:
- Strengthen and stabilize the gums covering your teeth
- Protect a tooth against gum recession
- Decrease tooth sensitivity
- Improve the appearance of your smile or the aesthetics of an implant
What is a gum graft?
A gum graft procedure is a traditional and effective method for covering exposed root surfaces and rebuilding your gum line.
This process involves using donor tissue, soft tissue from the roof of your mouth, or nearby healthy gum tissue. This tissue is then attached to the area where your gums have worn away.
In a matter of weeks, your gums will not only look better and more uniform, they may also feel tighter and firmer, too.
What to expect from a gum graft
Our Roswell and Midtown Atlanta periodontists are highly experienced in this procedure, offering precise and successful results.
- Local anesthesia is administered. We also offer sedation options to ensure your complete comfort.
- The tissue graft is carefully taken from your mouth and stitches are applied. If necessary or requested, we can also use donor tissue.
- The tissue is grafted onto the site.
The entire procedure is quite fast, usually taking about an hour and a half. We’ll provide follow-up care instructions, including which foods and activities you should avoid while the area heals. Your mouth should be feeling back to normal in about two weeks.
Everyone was nice, professional and able to answer any questions I had. If you want people who are passionate and care about your wellbeing, look no further.
