Treat receding gums with gum graft surgery

Do your teeth look a little “longer” than before? Or maybe your gums feel more sensitive, leaving you wincing when enjoying your favorite hot coffee or refreshing ice cream. If so, you might be dealing with gum recession, a common condition that occurs when the gum tissue pulls back from the teeth, exposing their roots. Fortunately, there is a solution! Gum graft surgery, a proven and effective treatment, restores not only the health of your gums but also your confident smile. Drs. Ramin Mirmooji and Samer Abboud of Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry in Pierrefonds, Quebec, take time to educate patients on this condition and how gum graft surgery can be used to resolve it.

What causes receding gums?

Gum Graft Surgery

Gum recession can sneak up on you for a variety of reasons. It may happen because of gum disease (like gingivitis or periodontitis), aggressive brushing techniques, or even genetics. Over time, if left without appropriate treatment, receding gums expose the roots of your teeth, leading to increased sensitivity, higher risks of decay, or even tooth loss.

How does gum graft surgery work to resolve receding gums?

Consider gum graft surgery as a little facelift for your gums. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to restore any lost gum tissue and protect your natural tooth structure from further damage.

Here’s the process involved:

  1. Assessing your gums – Our team begins with a full examination to determine the extent of the gum recession and develop the best treatment plan.
  2. Tissue harvesting – A small piece of healthy tissue, often taken from the roof of your mouth or gently processed from a donor source, is prepared.
  3. Placement – This tissue is carefully stitched onto the affected area, covering exposed roots and reinforcing the gumline.
  4. Healing and rejuvenation – Over time, the graft integrates with your existing gum tissue, creating a stronger and healthier gumline. Most of our patients experience minimal discomfort and a smooth healing process.
