Restore Your Gumline and Protect Your Roots
Have you noticed your teeth looking longer than they used to? Receding gums can leave your smile vulnerable, but gum graft surgery in Downtown Los Angeles, CA, at Perio Implant Health Professionals can restore your gumline and protect your oral health for years to come.

Gum graft surgery is a periodontal procedure that repairs receding gums by transplanting healthy tissue to areas where the gumline has pulled away from the teeth. Dr. Rodriguez uses this technique to cover exposed tooth roots, prevent further recession, and create a more balanced, healthy-looking smile.

Dr. Rodriguez carefully places donor tissue at the recession site using precise techniques. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable throughout the procedure.

Exposed roots can make eating and drinking uncomfortable. Gum grafting covers these sensitive areas, bringing relief from temperature-related discomfort.
Tooth roots lack the protective enamel found on the crown of your teeth. Restoring gum coverage shields these vulnerable surfaces from cavities and damage.
An uneven gumline can make your smile appear aged or unhealthy. Gum grafting creates a more uniform, youthful appearance.
Without treatment, gum recession typically worsens over time. Grafting reinforces weak tissue and helps stop the progression.
Healthier gum tissue decreases the risk of periodontal disease and protects natural teeth from future complications.
At Perio Implant Health Professionals, Dr. Rodriguez combines periodontal expertise with a patient-centered approach to deliver results that look natural and last.

Gum recession often develops so gradually that many patients don’t realize it’s happening until significant tissue loss has occurred.

Gum grafting is ideal for patients experiencing gum recession due to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, genetics, or natural aging. If you’ve noticed tooth sensitivity, visible roots, or a “long tooth” appearance, you may be an excellent candidate for this procedure. Dr. Rodriguez evaluates each patient individually to determine whether gum grafting is the right solution for restoring gum health and protecting teeth from future complications.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure thanks to local anesthesia. Any post-operative soreness is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and resolves within a few days.
Initial healing usually takes one to two weeks, though complete tissue integration may take a few months. Following Dr. Rodriguez's aftercare instructions will help ensure a smooth recovery.
The cost of gum grafting varies depending on how many teeth need treatment and the type of graft used. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed estimate based on your specific needs.
