What Are Gum Grafting & Bone Regeneration Procedures
These advanced periodontal therapies are used to rebuild soft and hard tissues that have been lost due to periodontitis, trauma, or long-term tooth loss.
Why Might You Need These Procedures
You may benefit from grafting and regeneration if you have:
- Gum recession causing tooth sensitivity or root exposure
- Bone loss around natural teeth or implants
- A sunken or collapsed facial appearance due to long-term tooth loss
- Insufficient bone to support dental implants
- Aesthetic concerns with uneven or thin gum tissue
These treatments not only restore function but also improve aesthetics and oral health.

What to Expect During Treatment
These procedures are usually performed under local anesthesia, with sedation available if desired. Here's a general outline:
Consultation & Imaging
We'll assess your condition, review your medical history, and take digital images.
Treatment Planning
We’ll discuss the best approach—whether it’s soft tissue, bone, or a combination of grafting procedures.
Surgery Day
The area is gently cleaned and prepped, graft materials are placed, and membranes may be used to guide healing.
Aftercare
Most patients can return to normal activities in a few days. We’ll provide clear post-op instructions and schedule a follow-up to monitor healing.
Advanced periodontal therapies we offer
Soft Tissue Grafts (Gum Grafting)
Used to cover exposed roots, rebuild receding gums, or improve the appearance of uneven gum lines. Tissue may be taken from the roof of your mouth or sourced from a donor material.
Bone Grafts
Involves placing bone material where bone has been lost—often in preparation for dental implants or to preserve a tooth at risk due to bone deterioration.
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR)
Uses a biocompatible membrane placed between the gum and bone to encourage bone growth and prevent unwanted tissue from filling the space.
Sinus Lift
A surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the molar area, lifting the sinus membrane to create space for dental implants.

Grafting and regeneration are ideal for patients who:
- Have gum recession, bone loss, or both
