Gum Grafts in Kanata
Restore Your Gum Line and Enhance Your Smile
Whether caused by gum disease, brushing habits, or genetics, gum recession can leave teeth looking long, uneven, or aged. At MYsmile Dental, we use gum grafting not only to protect your oral health—but also to restore a balanced, beautiful smile.
What Is a Gum Graft?
Gum grafting is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace lost gum tissue and reshape the gum line. At MYsmile Dental, we use gum grafts for two key reasons:
- Functional – To cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and prevent further gum recession or decay
- Cosmetic – To improve symmetry, eliminate a “long tooth” appearance, and enhance the proportions of your smile
If you're self-conscious about uneven gums or want a healthier, more youthful gum line, gum grafting may be an ideal solution.
Benefits of Gum Grafting
- Reverses gum recession
- Covers exposed tooth roots
- Reduces tooth sensitivity
- Improves gum symmetry and balance
- Creates a fuller, more youthful smile
- Protects against further bone or gum loss
For many patients, gum grafting is both a restorative and cosmetic investment in their long-term oral health and self-confidence.
Gum Graft Options at MYsmile Dental
We customize every procedure based on your smile goals and gum condition. Common grafting techniques include:
- Connective Tissue Grafts – The most common method, ideal for covering exposed roots while maintaining natural appearance.
- Free Gingival Grafts – Often used to strengthen thin gums or build up tissue in aesthetically visible areas.
