What is Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting is a soft tissue procedure that repairs areas where the gums have pulled away from the teeth. Dr. Morcos carefully places a small section of tissue — either from your palate or a donor source — over the exposed root surface. The graft bonds with your existing tissue over time, rebuilding a stronger, more protective gumline around the tooth.

Benefits of Gum Grafting

1.

Reduced Sensitivity

Covering exposed roots helps ease the sharp discomfort you may feel from hot, cold, or sweet foods.

2.

Stronger Gums

Restoring lost tissue creates a healthier barrier against bacteria and future recession.

3.

Enhanced Appearance

Evening out an uneven gumline can make a noticeable difference in how your smile looks and feels.

4.

Long-Term Stability

Reinforcing the tissue around your teeth helps protect against loosening and potential tooth loss down the road.

5.

Renewed Confidence

Smile freely, knowing your teeth are properly protected and beautifully framed.

Healthy gum tissue plays a direct role in keeping your teeth anchored and supported for the long haul.

Our Gentle Approach to Gum Grafting

Consultation & Imaging

Dr. Morcos examines your gums and uses advanced digital imaging to assess the extent of recession and plan your treatment.

Tissue Preparation

The treatment area is gently numbed, and Dr. Morcos selects the most appropriate graft material based on your individual needs.

Graft Placement

The tissue is carefully positioned over the affected area and secured to encourage proper healing and attachment.

Recovery Guidance

Who Needs Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting may be the right fit if you’ve noticed your gums gradually receding, your teeth appear longer than they used to, or you’re dealing with persistent root sensitivity. Recession can happen for a number of reasons — from brushing too aggressively to genetic predisposition or periodontal disease. During your visit, Dr. Morcos will take the time to evaluate what’s going on and walk you through whether grafting is the best path forward for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about gum grafting? Here are some of the things patients ask us most.

Is gum grafting painful?

The area is thoroughly numbed before we begin, so most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure itself. Any post-procedure soreness is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and typically fades within a few days.

How long does recovery take after gum grafting?

Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal daily activities within a day or two. Full tissue healing generally takes a few weeks, and we will monitor your progress at follow-up visits.

How much does gum grafting typically cost?

The cost of gum grafting varies depending on the number of teeth involved and the type of graft material used. We will provide a clear estimate during your consultation so there are no surprises.

Does insurance cover gum grafting?

Many PPO dental plans cover a portion of gum grafting when it’s deemed medically necessary. We recommend contacting our office directly so we can help you understand your specific coverage.
