Call 541-275-5276 for an appointment. You can schedule an appointment as early as 7 a.m.
Receding gums happen for a variety of factors. Gum disease, smoking, hard brushing, accidental injury, and genetics can all play a part. If you want a healthier gumline, your dentist may recommend gum grafting. Replenishing your gumline will make your smile look more appealing while improving its health too.
Before a grafting procedure, your dentist’s first goal is to ensure your gums are in good condition. Our team will treat any infection first with our wide range of gum disease treatment options. Once your gums are healthy, your dentist can move forward with a gum graft. We will use tissue from your own mouth, a donor, or synthetic material to graft into your gumline. Although your mouth will be numb, sedation is available if needed. We use dental lasers to improve the comfort and precision of your care.
This procedure offers numerous benefits:
Rest assured, your dentist will only recommend a graft if it’s the ideal technique for your smile. Once the procedure is complete, your dentist will educate you on ways to keep your gums in excellent condition. We ensure our patients are well-equipped to maintain the results of any treatment at our practice.

If your gums recede due to gum disease or other factors, your tooth roots can be exposed. This causes uncomfortable sensitivity to hot and cold substances. It also makes you more susceptible to dental decay and other problems and can even result in losing teeth. To avoid these issues, we can remove tissue from another part of your mouth and transfer it to your gums during a grafting procedure.
Gum grafts are worth it because they keep your teeth intact. You can avoid the cost and hassle of replacing lost teeth. Since you can’t get dental implants without healthy gums, your tooth replacement options would also be limited without a gum graft. A gum graft can also restore the appearance of a smile that has receding gums and exposed tooth roots.
It usually takes only a week or two for a gum graft to heal. However, you will feel better very soon after the procedure. Any minor discomfort is usually easy to manage with over-the-counter medication. We’ll provide you with complete instructions to ensure a speedy and healthy recovery. You’ll need to be careful brushing and flossing for a few days and may need to avoid certain foods as well.
