When gums become infected, they begin to pull away from the teeth and create small gaps (or pockets) which become filled with plaque, tartar and bacteria. This can lead to infection in the gum tissue (gum disease), which makes the gums red, swollen, painful and prone to bleeding.
Gum grafting allows us to treat and restore receding gums by transferring healthy gum tissue from one part of the mouth to another. This has the benefit of covering any exposed roots or bone and also provides a stable support for your teeth.
Gum Grafting at the Neem Tree
Whether you require a gum grafting procedure for cosmetic reasons or to help treat gum disease, there are several options available to you. We provide both surgical and less invasive pinhole procedures to help restore and repair your gums.
We use local anaesthetic to ensure that the procedure is as comfortable and painless as possible.
