Gum recession in Los Angeles

What is Gum Graft Surgery?

Gum graft surgery is a periodontal procedure that repairs receding gums by transplanting healthy tissue to areas where the gumline has pulled away from the teeth. Dr. Rodriguez uses this technique to cover exposed tooth roots, prevent further recession, and create a more balanced, healthy-looking smile.

Benefits of Gum Grafting

1.

Reduced Sensitivity

Exposed roots can make eating and drinking uncomfortable. Gum grafting covers these sensitive areas, bringing relief from temperature-related discomfort.

2.

Decay Protection

Tooth roots lack the protective enamel found on the crown of your teeth. Restoring gum coverage shields these vulnerable surfaces from cavities and damage.

3.

Improved Smile Aesthetics

An uneven gumline can make your smile appear aged or unhealthy. Gum grafting creates a more uniform, youthful appearance.

4.

Prevents Gum Recession

Without treatment, gum recession typically worsens over time. Grafting reinforces weak tissue and helps stop the progression.

5.

Long-Term Oral Health

Healthier gum tissue decreases the risk of periodontal disease and protects natural teeth from future complications.
GET STARTED TODAY

Gum recession often develops so gradually that many patients don’t realize it’s happening until significant tissue loss has occurred.

Our Gum Graft Surgery Process

Comprehensive Gum Examination

Dr. Rodriguez examines your gums, reviews your health history, and takes detailed measurements. This assessment helps determine the best grafting approach for your needs.

Treatment Planning

We discuss your options, including tissue sources and expected outcomes. You’ll leave your consultation with a clear understanding of your personalized treatment plan.

Grafting Procedure

Dr. Rodriguez carefully places donor tissue at the recession site using precise techniques. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable throughout the procedure.

Personalized Aftercare

We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery. Follow-up appointments allow us to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.

Who Can Benefit From Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting is ideal for patients experiencing gum recession due to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, genetics, or natural aging. If you’ve noticed tooth sensitivity, visible roots, or a “long tooth” appearance, you may be an excellent candidate for this procedure. Dr. Rodriguez evaluates each patient individually to determine whether gum grafting is the right solution for restoring gum health and protecting teeth from future complications.
