Gum Grafting
Gum Grafting That Rebuilds with Care
At The Smile Artisans, gum grafting is planned with precision to restore gum health, protect your roots, and rebalance your smile. This treatment supports areas where the gum has receded, helping prevent further wear and creating a natural, full gum line.
With digital imaging, QIP-accredited care, and guidance from dentists who train peers across Australia, your treatment is shaped with both insight and personal attention.
Why Gum Grafting Supports Long-Term Health
Covers Exposed Tooth Roots
When gums recede, roots become exposed and sensitive. Grafting gently restores the gum line, protecting these areas from damage and discomfort.
Enhances Gum Thickness and Resilience
Thin or weak gum tissue is strengthened with new tissue, helping your gums resist irritation, future recession, or trauma.
Improves Smile Balance and Aesthetics
Rebuilding your gum line can restore symmetry and proportion, especially around front teeth, improving how your smile looks when you speak or laugh.
Supports Tooth Stability
Healthy gums keep teeth anchored. Grafting helps reduce the risk of loosening or shifting by reinforcing the soft tissue around your teeth.
Reduces Sensitivity to Cold or Touch
By covering exposed roots, grafting can make it easier to enjoy hot or cold foods without the discomfort caused by sensitivity.
Prepares for Future Dental Work
If you’re planning treatments like implants or veneers, gum grafting may help create a stable and healthy foundation for better long-term results.
What Happens During Gum Grafting Treatment
- Your consultation includes a gum health check and digital scans to assess the extent of tissue loss.
- A thin layer of tissue is placed over receded gums and secured to promote healing and restore natural gum coverage.
- The area is monitored throughout healing, with adjustments and support provided to ensure comfort and stability.
- We guide you with aftercare tips and check-ins to help you maintain gum health and healing outcomes over time.
When Gum Grafting Becomes a Smart Option
If you’ve noticed root exposure, shrinking gums, or sensitivity near the gum line, gum grafting may help restore comfort and protection. With careful planning and experienced hands, this treatment brings back both health and confidence.
