Gum Graftingin Wesley Chapel, Florida

Gum grafts are recommended for several reasons:

• To Protect Exposed Roots: Exposed roots are vulnerable to decay and can be sensitive to hot and cold. Gum grafts cover these roots and reduce the risk of decay.
• To Improve Appearance: Receding gums can make your teeth look longer than normal. A gum graft can restore a more natural, youthful appearance to your smile.
• To Prevent Further Gum Recession: By stabilizing the gum tissue, grafts prevent further recession and bone loss.

1. Consultation: Dr. Hassan will conduct a thorough examination to determine if a gum graft is necessary and discuss your treatment options.
2. Procedure: The surgery typically takes place under local anesthesia. Dr. Hassan will carefully place the graft material to cover the exposed roots and secure it in place.
3. Recovery: Recovery varies per individual but generally involves minimal discomfort managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. We will provide detailed care instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.
4. Follow-up: You’ll have follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure the success of the graft.
