What Is Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that restores gum tissue that has receded due to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or other factors. The treatment involves adding new gum tissue to areas where it’s been lost, either from your own mouth or a donor source.

By covering exposed roots and rebuilding the gumline, we help you avoid further damage and restore your oral health.

Why You Might Need a Gum Graft

Gum recession isn’t just a cosmetic issue—it can lead to serious dental problems. If left untreated, it may cause:

  • Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold

  • Increased risk of decay along the root surface

  • Loose teeth or tooth loss

  • A “long-tooth” appearance in your smile

Comprehensive Dental Care offers expert gum grafting to protect your teeth and give you a healthier, more confident smile.

What to Expect from the Procedure

Your comfort is our priority. Dr. Bodnar will carefully assess the extent of your gum loss and recommend the best grafting method for your needs. Most gum grafts involve:

  • Numbing the treatment area

  • Gently placing tissue to cover exposed roots

  • Securing the graft with small sutures

  • Clear aftercare instructions for healing

We use advanced tools and techniques to minimize discomfort and promote a smooth recovery.

Healing & Aftercare

Recovery is typically quick and manageable. You may need to stick to soft foods and use a special rinse while the area heals. Our team will guide you every step of the way, and follow-up visits with Comprehensive Dental Care ensure you’re healing properly and comfortably.
