What Is a Gum Graft?
A gum graft is a procedure designed to restore receding gums and protect your teeth from further damage caused by gum recession. During gum graft surgery, tissue is taken from another area of your mouth or a donor source and carefully placed to cover exposed tooth roots. This not only improves oral health but also enhances the appearance of your smile. At Middle Tennessee Oral and Implant Surgery, Dr. Mark Hardison and Dr. Jeff Warden provide gum graft procedures tailored to your needs, helping you achieve a healthier, more confident smile. Contact us in Murfreesboro or Smyrna, TN to learn more.
How Is a Gum Graft Performed?
A gum graft is performed by carefully placing new tissue over areas where gums have receded. During the procedure, your oral surgeon will numb the area for comfort, then take tissue from your palate or a donor source to graft it to the receded gumline. The graft is secured and left to heal, allowing it to integrate with your existing gum tissue. Following the procedure, gum graft recovery typically involves a few days of rest, with some mild swelling or discomfort, but most patients can return to regular activities after a short healing period. This process restores the gumline, protects tooth roots, and helps improve both oral health and appearance.
What Are the Benefits of Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting offers many advantages for individuals suffering from receding gums and associated dental issues, including:
- Preserves bare roots
- Blocks further recession
- Improves oral health
- Enhances looks
- Minimizes the possibility of tooth loss
Middle Tennessee Oral and Implant Surgery Reviews
Very caring and very professional. Everyone there works together and the atmosphere is friendly, and very knowledgeable.
Amazing experience!!! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel at ease.
I am waiting on the tooth extraction. I renewed all the required paper work, had my x-ray and general consultation with the nurse and Dr. Warden, waitijg on Dr. Rhim to approve the surgery. I still have my bad tooth ache. Thank you! Everything went great except for my not taking the pre-med as required. As luck would have it the staff found a place for me at Smyrna on the 26th allowing my tooth to be extracted. Thanks to the staff and Dr. Warden, all is well. Thank you
I absolutely recommend Middle Tennessee Oral & Implant surgery!! I had my wisdom tooth removal here. The process was seamless! The staff is so amazing and knowledgable. Everyone was so friendly and made my experience so smooth! They called to check in on me the day after my procedure and it shows just how genuine they are!!
The nurse we had was so friendly and kind to my grandson. Dr. Hardison was very friendly also and informed us of what Logan needed.
