Keep Your Smile Healthy With Gum Grafts in Livonia
Your gums play a vital role in protecting your teeth, your oral health, and your overall well-being. If you have a receding gumline, whether due to hard brushing, gum disease, or an injury, there’s no need to continue risking your health. Gum grafts in Livonia can replenish your gumline. A grafting treatment will:
- Create a stronger seal around your teeth and protect your whole body against harmful bacteria
- Stop the progression of gum recession before it leads to more serious dental problems, like tooth or bone loss
- Cover exposed tooth roots, so you won’t have to wince any longer when consuming cold or hot foods and beverages
- Give you an attractive and healthy-looking smile by restoring your gumline
- Simplify your oral care routine, so you can floss and brush without worrying about discomfort

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Grafts
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.
