Gum Grafting in Plymouthin Southeast Michigan
Gum grafting is a specialized procedure that helps restore receding gums, protect tooth roots, and improve both the health and appearance of your smile. When gums recede, the roots of your teeth become exposed, leading to increased sensitivity, higher risk of decay, and even tooth loss over time.
At Trillium Oral Surgery And Implantology in Plymouth, MI, our experienced, specialist-led team offers expert gum grafting in a calm, personalized setting. This treatment not only safeguards your oral health but also enhances your confidence, making it easier to smile without hesitation.

When you choose gum grafting at our office, you’re placing your care in the hands of a globally educated surgical team with decades of experience. As a privately owned practice since 1992, we focus entirely on patient outcomes rather than corporate metrics, allowing us to tailor each procedure to your needs.
Gum grafting helps to protect your teeth, prevent further gum loss, and even reverse some effects of periodontal disease, all while improving your smile’s natural contour. We believe that excellence in care begins with trust, which is why so many patients across our locations return to us for compassionate, advanced treatment.
The Benefits of Gum Grafting
Protects Tooth Roots
Gum recession leaves the sensitive roots of your teeth exposed to plaque and decay. Grafting restores protective tissue coverage, decreasing your risk for cavities and reducing painful tooth sensitivity.
Improves Gum Health
By rebuilding the gum line, grafting strengthens the protective barrier around teeth. This creates a healthier future for your mouth, discouraging the progression of gum disease and the need for further dental interventions.
Enhances Aesthetics
Receding gums can make your teeth appear longer and older than you really are. Gum grafting restores natural proportions to your smile, giving a more youthful and symmetrical appearance you’ll feel confident showing off.
What to Expect From Gum Grafting
Personalized Consultation
Your experience starts with a thoughtful, one-on-one consultation. During this visit, your oral surgeon will evaluate the extent of gum recession, explain treatment options, and answer your questions. Using detailed imaging and diagnostics, we create a custom plan designed to achieve optimal comfort and long-term gum health.
The Grafting Procedure
On the day of your treatment, we ensure the area is fully anesthetized so you remain comfortable throughout. A careful tissue graft, often taken from your own palate or a donor source, is placed precisely where you’ve experienced gum loss. Our advanced surgical techniques, developed through global training and academic leadership, help ensure precision and minimize healing time.
Healing and Results
After surgery, you’ll receive personalized guidance for recovery, including instructions for diet, oral hygiene, and follow-up care. Most patients experience significant improvements in both comfort and appearance within a few weeks. Your restored gums will look and feel natural, and our team stays with you every step of the way to monitor healing and maintain long-term gum stability.
