Gum Grafting
Gum graft surgery restores your gum line, helping to protect your teeth and prevent further damage caused by gum disease. This procedure repairs soft tissue to shield tooth roots and improve your oral health.
Restore Your Smile with Gum Graft Surgery Near You
Healthy gums are essential to a beautiful, functional smile. When gum disease leads to gum recession, the roots of your teeth can become exposed, increasing the risk of plaque buildup, infections and even bone loss. Gum grafting offers an effective solution, repairing your gum line to protect your teeth and restore your confidence.
Our gum graft surgeries are tailored to each patient’s needs and provide long-term benefits for oral health. In addition to preventing further gum recession, gum grafts can reduce sensitivity, enhance the appearance of your smile and lower the risk of tooth loss. Patients in and around Kingsport, Johnson City, Colonial Heights and Elizabethton, TN, can rely on us for expert care and noticeable gum graft before-and-after results.

What is a gum graft?
A gum graft is a surgical procedure that uses tissue, often taken from another part of your mouth, to rebuild your gum line. This helps cover exposed roots, improve gum health and protect teeth from further damage.
-
Is gum grafting painful?
Most patients experience little discomfort during the procedure due to local anesthesia or sedation. Mild soreness or swelling while recovering from gum graft surgery is common, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and proper aftercare.
-
When is it too late for gum grafting?
Gum grafting is most effective in the early stages of gum recession. If gum disease has caused significant bone or tissue loss, additional treatments may be required before grafting. A consultation with your dentist will help determine the best approach for your needs.
