What Is Gum Grafting?
Your gums are a bigger part of your smile than you might realize. They protect your teeth and help keep your mouth healthy. But when gums start receding, they can expose your teeth and change your smile. At Kaceli Dental Studio in Norwood, MA, gum grafting is a solution that helps treat gum recession. This happens when the gums pull back from the teeth, often because of gum disease, brushing too hard, or even genetics. Exposed roots can make your teeth sensitive, increase the chance of decay, and impact your smile. If you're worried about gum recession, schedule a consultation with Dr. Monika Kaceli to see how gum grafting can help protect your teeth and keep your smile looking great.
How Does Gum Grafting Work?
Modern gum surgery often uses the advanced tunneling technique, a less invasive approach than traditional methods. This technique involves creating a small incision to form a tunnel in the gum tissue around the affected area. A tissue graft is then carefully inserted and positioned to cover the exposed roots, blending naturally with the surrounding gums as they heal. This method is designed to reduce discomfort, speed up recovery, and provide a seamless, natural appearance. After your gum graft procedure, our team will guide you with clear aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery and maintain your healthier gumline.
What Are the Benefits of Gum Grafting?
At Kaceli Dental Studio in Norwood, MA, gum grafting provides numerous benefits for individuals dealing with receding gums and related dental concerns. Some advantages include:
- Improves oral health: By covering exposed roots, gum grafting helps reduce the risk of root cavities and other oral health issues.
- Protects exposed roots: Shields sensitive tooth roots from external factors, reducing discomfort and sensitivity.
- Reduces the risk of tooth loss: Strengthening the area around the teeth improves support and decreases the likelihood of tooth loss.
- Prevents further gum recession: Reinforces gum tissue to help stop additional recession and damage.
- Enhances appearance: Creates a more even, attractive gumline, improving the overall look of your smile.
