Located 920 Wyoming Ave, Suite 203, Forty Fort, PA 18704 Gum Grafting: What You Need to KnowGum grafting is a name for periodontal procedures dedicated to strengthening certain areas of the gums in order to cover up an exposed tooth root surface. These exposed roots could be the result of gum recession due to gum disease, bite overload, or poorly positioned teeth. This procedure is quite common, and while the name might sound scary, it is performed routinely and provides for excellent results. Benefits of Gum GraftingThere are a few great benefits associated with gum grafting:
What Happens During the ProcedureDuring your grafting procedure, you'll be given a local anesthetic to help with your discomfort. Then, a tiny incision will be made at the site of the graft, creating a small tunnel to accommodate the new gum tissue. The gum tissue will be sutured into place so that it won't shift, and the healing process will take about six weeks to complete.  |
