Types of Gum Surgery

Gum disease treatment involves a gum disease doctor removing a small section of tissue from the inside or the roof of your mouth and layering it over the damaged gums.

Connective Tissue Graft Toronto

Connective Tissue Graft

When there is a large area of the tooth root exposed, the gum specialist will remove the tissue from the mouth’ roof and suture it onto the grafting site. The roof of the mouth is expansive, making it the best place to take donor tissue.

Gingival Graft Toronto

Gingival Graft

When there is thin gum tissue but not necessarily root or nerve exposure, the gum graft specialist will take a small piece of tissue from the roof of the mouth and suture it to any receding areas of the gums. This procedure will thicken the gums and prevent root exposure in the future.

Pedicle Graft Toronto

Pedicle Graft

When there is a moderate recession, but the gums are relatively healthy, the periodontal specialist will cut a flap of tissue and leave it attached to one end. The periodontist will then move this flap sideways to cover the exposed roots. The blood vessels remain in place, making this the ideal graft.

Symptoms of Gum Recession

If you notice any of the following symptoms, contact a specialist in gums at your earliest convenience.

Longer Tooth Line

Gum Surgery Procedure Toronto

Receding Gum Surgery Procedure

The procedure could take one to two hours, depending on how receded the patient’s gums are.

Bond Street Dental’s Gum Disease Doctor will provide you with sleep dentistry options before the surgery. During the procedure, your mouth will be frozen, and you won’t feel a thing!
In most cases, the patient’s own tissue is used, usually taken from the roof of the mouth.
The periodontal doctor will remove a thin piece of tissue and carefully place it onto the affected area. The tissue is then safely and securely attached with fine sutures.
Gum Graft Recovery Toronto

Gum Graft Recovery

It can take up to two weeks to recover after a gum graft. You should only eat soft, room-temperature foods like steamed vegetables, yogurt, and oatmeal for the following two weeks. Do not brush or floss in the affected area until it has healed. We recommend using mouthwash to prevent infections and plaque buildup.

Dr. Kohli may also suggest medication to help with any residual pain or discomfort. He will additionally schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the graft has been successful and is healing properly. Our resident gum specialist will answer any questions and address any concerns you may have.

Gum Graft FAQ’s

Are gum grafts permanent?

Gum grafts are a great way to treat gum recession and prevent tooth decay and bone loss. However, gum problems could still arise in the future. To avoid complications after your gum graft, practice good dental hygiene at home, and schedule a dental check-up, teeth cleaning appointment every six months and avoid tobacco products.

How painful is a gum graft?
