Protect Your Smile With Gum Grafts In Bend, OR

Healthy gums are part of a healthy smile. If you have experienced gum recession, however, it can affect your oral health. To repair periodontal tissue, we offer gum grafts in Bend, OR. This treatment can:

  • Reduce your risk of further recession and potential bone loss
  • Prevent tooth loss
  • Reduce your oral sensitivity
  • Improve the appearance of your smile

You can have a healthy smile again. Dr. Blake Drew and our team at Drew Family Dentistry can make that happen. Call 541-668-8070 to restore your gumline.

Understand The Causes Of Gum Recession

When your gums have separated from your teeth, this can put your entire smile at risk. It can allow harmful bacteria to form plaque on the roots of your teeth, which can lead to tooth infections and bone loss. A gum graft is an oral surgery procedure that can restore your gumline, so that soft tissue can once again protect your tooth roots.

Gum recession can develop for one or more of the following reasons:

  • Periodontal Disease — Receding gums are a common symptom of the later stages of gum disease.
  • Aggressive Tooth Brushing — While it’s important to brush your teeth (twice daily), brushing too hard can be harmful to your teeth and your gum tissue.
  • Hormonal Changes — For females going through puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, the gums can become more prone to gum disease during these stages of life.
  • Poor Oral Care — Simply put, there are consequences if you don’t care for your mouth.

Repair Your Gumline & Your Healthy Smile In Comfort

As part of our commitment to your oral health, we want your gums to be as healthy as they can be. To make this easier for you, we provide sedation dentistry. Whether you receive inhaled sedation (laughing gas), oral sedation, or a combination, we want you to remain worry-free and pain-free during your treatment.

At Drew Family Dentistry, you can get the benefits of gum grafts in Bend, OR. Call 541-668-8070 now to repair your smile.

Dr. Drew and his team are great. Their facility is very clean and welcoming and most important, they provide great customer service and dental care. I am especially grateful for how patient and empathetic they were towards my daughter who has a borderline phobia of dentists. My family is lucky to have found the Drew Family Dentistry Team and we’re looking forward to seeing them every 6 months from here on out. My daughter may argue with that last statement :)

I have been to Drew Family Dentistry three times now, and I will continue going there for my dental care. Dr. Blake Drew and his staff are personable, friendly, patient, and good at their speciality. The VIP program they have that includes visits, cleanings, and discounts for dental work is very helpful financially. Dr. Drew is excellent at providing local anesthetic to the gums and mouth, making the experience much more pleasant and painless compared to the previous dental work I have had in the past. Two thumbs up! I recommend them highly.

Common Questions About Gum Grafts

Gum grafts are a surgical procedure that helps those who have experienced gum recession, often from advanced gum disease. Receding gums expose the roots of your teeth, which looks unattractive and also causes sensitivity. If not corrected, it can eventually result in the loss of teeth.

Gum grafts are worth it because they keep your teeth intact. You can avoid the cost and hassle of replacing lost teeth. Since you can’t get dental implants without healthy gums, your tooth replacement options would also be limited without a gum graft. A gum graft can also restore the appearance of a smile that has receding gums and exposed tooth roots.

A gum graft typically involves moving tissue from one part of your mouth, like the roof of your mouth, to your gums. While this can cause some discomfort, you won’t feel it because we will thoroughly numb your mouth with local anesthesia. You can also choose to receive dental sedation.
