Tissue Grafting for Receding Gums
Gum recession occurs when the soft tissue surrounding your teeth gradually pulls back or wears away, exposing the tooth roots. This can lead to increased sensitivity, discomfort, and aesthetic concerns that affect your smile.
The good news is that effective treatment is available. At our Perio Clinic Oakville, we offer advanced tissue grafting procedures designed to restore lost gum tissue , reduce sensitivity, and help you regain a healthy, confident smile.
What is Tissue Grafting?
Tissue grafting is a specialized periodontal procedure used to treat gum recession and repair soft tissue defects caused by trauma, infection, or gum disease. The goal is to rebuild a strong, healthy band of gum tissue around the teeth or implants.
This not only protects exposed roots and reduces sensitivity but also enhances the overall appearance of your smile and improves long-term oral stability
Common Reasons Behind Gum Recession
Gum recession typically develops slowly over time and can result from a variety of factors, including:
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Genetic predisposition
- Aggressive tooth brushing
- Poor oral hygiene habits
- Tobacco use
- Teeth grinding or clenching
- Misaligned teeth
- Hormonal changes
Among these, periodontal disease is the most common cause. It is a bacterial infection that gradually damages the gum tissue and underlying bone. In its early stage, this condition is known as gingivitis

Types of Gum Grafting Procedures
Gum grafting procedures are performed to restore lost tissue and strengthen the support around teeth or dental implants. The graft material may be taken from your own mouth or use a safe donor tissue (allograft), depending on your specific needs.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Your periodontist will carefully evaluate your condition and recommend the most suitable grafting technique. Using advanced microsurgical methods and modern technology, the procedure is performed with precision to ensure optimal results, comfort, and faster healing.

Frequently Asked Questions?
How painful is a tissue graft?
A connective tissue graft is essentially painless. The surface tissues from the palate are intimately readapted and promote rapid healing. The connective tissue contains blood vessels which is critical in the grafted tissue reattaching to the adjacent gum tissue.
How long does it take for a tissue graft to heal?
How long does a connective tissue graft take to heal? Initial healing typically takes one to two weeks. Complete healing of the gums can take several months. Following our care instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery.
How long does gum grafting last?
with proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, gum grafting results can last indefinitely. However, patients must be vigilant about maintaining good oral health to reduce the risk of developing gum disease in the future.
