Gum Graft Treatment in Midtown Toronto, ON
At Midtown Dental Studio on Eglinton we perform a gum graft to help restore your healthy gums and protect your teeth. We can treat receding gums, cover exposed tooth roots, and reduce tooth sensitivity. We work hard to make sure you feel safe and well cared for during treatment!
What Is a Gum Graft?
Gum recession happens when your gums move away from your teeth. A gum graft can fix this problem and help keep your teeth safe and healthy.
A gum graft can fix gums on any tooth in your mouth that need it. The gum graft covers the tooth root that is showing and brings back the gum tissue you need to cover the exposed area. This helps your teeth feel less sensitive and keeps your gums from having more problems like gum disease.
Think of a gum graft as a blanket for your tooth root. It adds new gum tissue to stop bacteria from damaging the tooth root. This helps stop your gums from pulling back more and keeps your teeth strong and pain-free.
Getting a gum graft is an important way to protect your teeth from bigger problems later on like losing a tooth or damage to the bone of your tooth. At Midtown Dental Studio in Midtown Toronto, ON, we use careful methods and good materials to help your gum graft heal properly and stay healthy for a long time.
When Do You Need a Gum Graft?
A gum graft can help fix several problems with your gums. Here are the main reasons you might need one:
Your gums have moved away from your teeth, leaving the tooth roots exposed. A gum graft covers these roots and keeps your tooth safe.
Your teeth hurt when you eat or drink something hot or cold. This usually happens when your tooth roots are not covered. A gum graft protects them and can help stop the pain.
Your gums keep pulling back more and more, even when you brush and floss well. A gum graft can stop this from getting worse.
You have/had gum disease that made your gums shrink or pull away from your teeth. After we treat the disease, a gum graft helps grow back the gum tissue you lost.
Your gums are naturally thin or don't cover your teeth well. A gum graft makes your gums thicker and stronger.
Our team will check your gums carefully and we might take X-ray pictures of your mouth to examine them further. Then we'll discuss with you whether a gum graft is the right treatment option and make a plan to help your gums get healthy!

Gum Grafting Process at Midtown Dental Studio on Eglinton
Step 1: Dental Exam and Review
First, we discuss with you about how your gums feel and if anything hurts. We also look at your dental records to understand your dental health history. We review any medical conditions you experience and any medications you take that can affect your teeth. Next, we closely examine your gums and teeth to examine if there is gum recession.
We might take X-ray pictures or photos to get a better look at your gums and diagnose the area better. After that, we discuss with you what we have found and we create a individual treatment plan tailored to you for our recommended treatment.
Step 2: Preparing for Your Gum Graft
We want you to feel good during your visit! We give you medicine (a local anesthetic) that makes your gums numb so you won't feel any pain.
Next, we get the area ready where your gums have pulled away. We make sure the tooth root is very clean before we add the new gum tissue.
Step 3: Adding the New Gum Tissue
We carefully put the new gum tissue on top of the exposed tooth root. The tissue might come from the top or another area of your mouth.
Next we use very small stitches to connect the new tissue to your gums. The stitches help everything stay in place while it heals to help your tooth root stay fully covered.
Step 4: Final Check and What Comes Next
We do a final check to make sure your gum graft is placed correctly and everything looks good. If we need to make any small changes, we adjust.
Before you leave, we give you easy instructions on how to care for your gum graft and what you might feel (like some soreness at first). If you follow our tips, your gums should heal nicely and stay healthy for a long time!

Frequently Asked Questions About a Gum Graft
Do I need a gum graft?
You might need a gum graft if you notice:
Your gums are moving away from your teeth.
Hot or cold food and drinks make your teeth hurt or sensitive.
You can see the roots of your teeth, or there are yellow or dark spots near your gums.
Your teeth seem longer than they used to be.
If any of these sound like what you're experiencing, please call us so we can take a look at your gums.
Will a gum graft hurt?
We want you to be comfortable! Most patients don’t feel any pain during the procedure. We numb your gums first with medicine before the procedure.
You might feel a little sore afterward, but most people say it doesn't hurt much during the actual treatment.
How long will my gum graft last?
Your gum graft can last a very long time — sometimes for the rest of your life — if you care for your teeth and gums properly.
Here's what helps your gum graft stay strong:
Brush your teeth gently two times each day with a soft toothbrush.
Use floss at least once a day with care around your gums.
Visit us for regular cleanings and dental exams at least every 6 months.
Stay away from smoking — it damages your gums.
Important reminder: Call us right away if you feel any pain, see your gums moving back, or notice anything unusual with your gum graft. We'll check to make sure everything is healing properly.
Can gum grafts sometimes not work?
Gum grafts usually work great and heal well. However, once in a while, the new gum tissue might not stick properly or heal the way we want it to.
When you come back for checkups after your gum graft, we can see how your gums are doing. This way, if there's any issue, we can spot it early and help fix it right away.
Will my gum graft blend in with my other gums?
Yes! We take great care to make your gum graft blend in with the rest of your gums. Once everything is healed, it usually looks so natural that no one will notice you had the procedure.
