Gum grafting
What is a gum graft?
Gum grafting is a dental procedure designed to correct receding teeth by adding a strip of gum tissue to cover the exposed root. This treatment is recommended for patients with receding teeth or gum recession.
How to recognize gingival recession?
There are several symptoms that can indicate gum recession. If you can easily see the roots of your teeth, if some teeth seem longer and less aesthetic than others, or if you feel tooth sensitivity to cold, you may be experiencing gingival recession.
Advantages of gum grafting:
Gum grafting offers many advantages. In addition to preventing the progression of receding teeth, this procedure stabilizes and strengthens the gums around the tooth.
It also reduces the sensitivity of teeth affected by gum recession and, in some cases, improves smile aesthetics.
How is the procedure performed?
Gum grafting is a simple procedure performed by our experienced dentists at the Clinique dentaire Fortin Poirier in Laval.
First, a local anesthetic is administered to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Next, a thin layer of gum tissue will be removed from an appropriate area of your palate to serve as a graft. This graft will then be transplanted and attached to the area of gingival recession.
