Gum Grafting in Chelseain Southeast Michigan
If you're experiencing gum recession, gum grafting may be the solution to restore both your oral health and confidence. Gum grafting is a specialized procedure that rebuilds the gum line by using your own healthy oral tissue to cover areas where the gums have receded. This not only safeguards your tooth roots but also restores a natural, balanced smile.
At Trillium Oral Surgery And Implantology in Chelsea, MI, we offer advanced gum grafting treatments designed to protect your teeth and promote long-term oral health. With our experienced surgical team and attentive, personalized care, we’re here to help you smile with comfort and confidence again.

The Benefits of Gum Grafting
Prevents Further Gum Recession
Gum grafting helps stop the progression of gum recession, shielding your tooth roots from exposure. This protection is critical in reducing the risk of decay, bone loss, and even tooth loss down the line.
Reduces Tooth Sensitivity
When gums recede, your tooth roots become exposed and can feel overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet foods. Grafting covers those roots with healthy tissue, drastically improving your comfort when eating or drinking.
Enhances Smile Appearance
Uneven or recessed gums can make your teeth look overly long or asymmetrical. Gum grafting restores a more natural contour to your smile, creating a balanced, healthier appearance that boosts your confidence.
What to Expect From Gum Grafting
Personalized Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Trillium Oral Surgery And Implantology in Chelsea. We’ll examine your current gum health, discuss any symptoms you’ve noticed, like sensitivity or cosmetic concerns, and use detailed imaging to assess the degree of recession. From there, we customize a treatment plan built entirely around your needs, comfort level, and long-term goals. Our team believes in clear communication, so you’ll know exactly what to expect every step of the way.
The Procedure
Gum grafting is performed with precision and care, typically under local anesthesia and sedation for a comfortable experience. During the procedure, a small piece of tissue, either from your own mouth or a donor source, is grafted onto the affected area. The graft is then carefully positioned and secured to ensure optimal healing and a natural appearance. Our oral surgeons use advanced techniques refined by years of training and education to ensure the best possible outcome for your graft.
Recovery and Long-Term Care
After your procedure, our team will guide you through a smooth recovery plan that minimizes discomfort and promotes healing. Most patients resume normal activities in a few days, with complete healing taking a couple of weeks. During follow-up visits, we monitor your progress and ensure your new gum tissue is integrating well. With custom guidance on oral care and hygiene, you’ll leave our care with restored health and knowledge to keep your smile protected for years to come.
