Is gum graft surgery worth it?

Undoubtedly! Receding gums, often a result of factors like aggressive brushing, smoking, or gum disease, can make your teeth sensitive and vulnerable to decay. Gum grafting in Philadelphia, PA, with our esteemed practitioners, is not just about improving your dental appearance; it's a crucial step to protect your teeth from potential harm and ensure longevity.

Our dedicated team ensures you're at ease throughout. With sedation options tailored to your preference, the procedure involves extracting a small piece of soft tissue from the palate area, grafting it over the receded gums, and securing it in place. Over time, this grafted tissue naturally bonds with its surroundings, reinstating a healthy gum line.

What are the risks or complications of gum graft surgery?

At Noble Dental, we pride ourselves on maintaining an exceptional safety record. While any surgical procedure comes with inherent risks, our proficient team, with the expertise of Drs. Conover, Wainwright, Okur, Szabo, Hauser, and Ku, ensures the highest standards of care, minimizing potential complications. As always, discussing any concerns with our specialists during your consultation will provide clarity.

The procedure's duration can vary based on the severity of the gum recession and individual needs. Typically, a session lasts between 1 to 2 hours. Our aim at Noble Dental is to ensure precision and effectiveness, ensuring you leave with optimal results.

What happens after gum grafting?

Post-procedure, our team offers comprehensive guidance to facilitate a smooth recovery. Incorporating dental hygiene best practices like using a soft-bristle electric toothbrush and flossing daily, along with quitting detrimental habits like smoking, can prevent further gum recession.

How long does it take for a gum graft to heal?
