Gum Grafting

Preserving Your Smile and Protecting Your Health

Gum recession is a common issue that can lead to serious oral health problems if left untreated. As gums recede, they expose the sensitive roots of your teeth, leading to increased sensitivity, a higher risk of decay, and potential bone loss. In severe cases, untreated gum recession can even contribute to tooth loss.

At Damian Periodontics, we offer advanced gum grafting procedures to restore lost gum tissue, protect your teeth, and enhance the overall appearance of your smile.

What Causes Gum Recession?

Gum recession can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Gum Disease – Periodontal infections can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth.

• Aggressive Brushing – Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can wear down gum tissue.

• Genetics – Some individuals are naturally prone to thinner gum tissue.

• Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) – Excessive grinding or clenching can put stress on the gums.

• Misaligned Teeth – Uneven pressure on teeth can contribute to gum loss over time.

How Gum Grafting Can Help

Gum grafting is a minimally invasive procedure designed to restore lost gum tissue, protect exposed tooth roots, and prevent further recession. Our expert team ensures a comfortable, stress-free experience with modern techniques that promote faster healing and long-term results.
