Gum Grafting

Gum grafting is primarily used to treat receding gums, especially where tooth has been exposed. When plaque and bacteria build up at the gum line, the gums start to pull away from the teeth and stretch, forming little pockets around the buildup. Even when these little pockets are cleaned out, they remain at the gum line and cause the gums to recede. Dr. Martin Urban, DDS can help you correct this by repairing deficient gums with a gum graft. 


A gum graft procedure consists of harvesting healthy tissue from the roof of the patient’s mouth and transferring it to the site that needs reinforcement. This gives the deficient gum a replacement, and encourages growth of new material around the graft.  Gum grafting can be performed when receding gums become unsightly, or to cover teeth that have been exposed by receding gums and become much more sensitive.  If you think you could benefit from a gum graft, please contact us.

  1. Name itself is horrifying! Gum crafting must be quite painful. Suffered from tooth sensitivity last month. Went to dentist Redondo Beach recommended by my friend with mom. Their medicines and oral hygiene tips worked as wonder. Also the cover teeth shafts given by them for preventing bad texture were amazing.

  2. Dental grafting,sculpting,crafting they all are the procedure used when your gum is not being able to hold your teeth, i had a similar case in long jetty, Australia & i i am being able to do the surgery on time. I'll suggest you all to take care of your oral hygiene & if you came across any problem/issue you can visit your nearest teeth cleaning dentist.
