Gum Surgeries and Grafts in Burnaby
Your gums are the foundation of your smile.
At Burnaby Gentle Dental, we offer gentle and precise gum surgeries and grafting treatments to restore receding gums, reduce sensitivity, and protect your teeth from future damage — all while improving the harmony of your smile.
What It Is & How It Works
Gum surgery and gum grafting are procedures that treat gum recession, infection, or uneven gumlines.
When the gums recede, tooth roots become exposed, causing sensitivity and a higher risk of decay.
A gum graft involves taking healthy tissue — usually from the roof of your mouth or a donor source — and attaching it to the affected area to rebuild a protective, natural-looking gumline.
