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:

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.

Most patients report minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia and sedation options ensure a comfortable procedure.

Soft tissue grafts usually heal in 1–2 weeks. Bone grafts and sinus lifts may take a few months for full integration.

With proper care, success rates are very high—especially when combined with ongoing periodontal maintenance.

Yes. In fact, bone grafting is often done specifically to prepare the site for future implants.

No. While it can enhance appearance, it also protects exposed roots and reduces tooth sensitivity.

Absolutely. Donor tissues used in grafting are thoroughly sterilized and processed to ensure safety and compatibility.

While this is sometimes done, we typically use synthetic or donor bone, which works very effectively and eliminates the need for a second surgical site.

They help reduce the risk by restoring lost tissue and making oral hygiene more effective.

Some plans do. We can help verify your benefits and provide detailed treatment estimates.

Follow our post-op care plan, brush and floss daily, and schedule regular periodontal maintenance visits.
