Gum Graft Surgery in Oklahoma City
A healthy smile isn’t just about strong teeth—healthy gums play an equally important role. Gum disease and gum recession can expose the roots of your teeth, making them vulnerable to plaque buildup, infections and bone loss. Gum grafting helps restore your gum line, shielding the roots of your teeth and improving oral health.
This surgical solution offers numerous benefits, including reducing sensitivity, enhancing the appearance of your smile, and preventing further gum recession. Our experienced team is proud to provide gum graft surgery for patients in Oklahoma City and surrounding areas, offering a path to improved oral health and renewed confidence.
-
What causes gum recession, and how can gum grafting help?
Gum recession occurs when gum tissue pulls away from teeth due to gum disease, aggressive brushing or genetics. Gum grafts replace lost tissue, protecting tooth roots and preventing further gum and bone damage.
-
Is gum grafting a painful procedure?
Gum grafting is performed under local anesthesia, so patients typically feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Mild soreness is common during recovery, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and post-surgery care instructions.
-
How long does it take to recover after gum grafting?
Gum graft recovery usually takes one to two weeks for initial healing, with complete healing in about four to six weeks. Following your dentist’s care instructions helps ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
