Dr. Sunny K Tilwani’s office in Plano, has solutions for patients with gum issues including gum recession. One of the most common treatments for this is Gum/Tissue Grafting, a simple procedure to protect your teeth and your gum health. As gums recede, they can expose the roots of your teeth, making them sensitive and vulnerable. With the right gum grafting procedure, we can cover exposed tooth roots, reduce discomfort and support your long term oral health. If you’re looking for expert Gum/Tissue Grafting in Plano, you’ve come to the right place.

Our Gum/Tissue Grafting Services

Dr. Sunny K Tilwani’s office offers a range of gum grafting treatments to suit your needs. Gum grafting isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about protecting your teeth from further damage from gum disease, bone loss, and tooth loss. Whether your gum line is receding from periodontal disease or you’re experiencing tooth sensitivity from exposed root surfaces, our team is here to help. Our approach is always personalized and gentle. We use tried and tested techniques to restore your gum tissue and help you smile with confidence again.

• Connective Tissue Grafts
  This is one of the most common methods used in gum grafting in Plano. A small piece of tissue is taken from under the roof of your mouth and placed over the exposed area. It helps cover exposed tooth roots and reduce sensitivity.
• Free Gingival Grafts
  In this type, a small layer of gum tissue is removed directly from the roof of your mouth. It’s especially useful when patients have very thin gums and need extra protection. This technique also helps prevent further gum recession.
• Pedicle Grafts
  This method uses tissue from the gum area right next to the tooth. Instead of taking tissue from the roof, we simply reposition nearby gum tissue. It’s a good option when there’s still plenty of healthy tissue around one tooth.
• Allografts (Tissue Bank Grafts)
  Sometimes we use donor tissue from a certified tissue bank. This way we don’t have to take tissue from your mouth, making the process quicker and more comfortable. The graft encourages your gums to grow back and heal over time.
• Soft Tissue Graft with Membranes
  For advanced gum recession cases, we may use a soft tissue graft along with special membranes to guide healing. This helps your body rebuild healthy gum tissue. It also creates a stronger barrier against bacteria and plaque.

Benefits of Gum/Tissue Grafting

Gum/Tissue Grafting is more than just a cosmetic procedure—it’s essential to protect your teeth and oral health. When gums recede, they leave your teeth more vulnerable to damage, decay and even loss. Grafting strengthens the area around your teeth, reducing the chance of future issues. It also helps to reduce tooth sensitivity and restore your gum line to a healthier, more natural look. At our Plano practice we help our patients enjoy these long term benefits through expert and gentle care.

• Reduces Tooth Sensitivity
  When roots become exposed, everyday activities like eating cold food can cause discomfort. Grafting covers the exposed areas, reducing pain and sensitivity. You’ll be able to enjoy hot and cold foods without flinching.
• Prevents Further Gum Recession
  One common reason for grafting is to stop gums from receding any more. Strengthening the gum line helps protect against future damage from bacteria, plaque, and brushing. This can make a big difference in your long-term oral health.
• Improves Gum Appearance
  A receding gum line can make teeth look longer than they should. Grafting restores a balanced look to your gums. This improves your smile and your self-confidence.
• Protects Against Tooth Loss
  Receding gums can eventually lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Gum graft surgery helps secure your teeth by giving them a better foundation. It’s a smart step towards preventing more serious dental problems.
• Better Oral Health
  Healthy gum tissue is essential for the roots of your teeth and a clean mouth. Grafting creates a stronger barrier against bacteria and reduces your risk for periodontal disease. It also makes brushing and flossing more effective.

Gum/Tissue Grafting Procedure at Dr. Sunny K Tilwani

When you come to Dr. Sunny K Tilwani for gum grafting in Plano, we make the entire process as simple and comfortable as possible. From your first consultation to your recovery, we’ll guide you through every step. The entire gum grafting procedure is done in-office and takes less than two hours. We use local anesthesia to make you comfortable throughout. Most patients are back to their daily routine in a few days.

1. Initial Consultation
   We start with a full exam of your teeth and gums. This helps us determine if gum grafting is the right treatment for you. We’ll also explain the best type of graft for your condition.
2. Treatment Planning
   We create a custom plan based on the condition of your gum tissue and the extent of gum recession. This may include connective tissue grafts, free gingival grafts, or donor tissue. We’ll go over everything so you feel confident moving forward.
3. Local Anesthesia
   On the day of your procedure, we use local anesthesia so you don’t feel any pain. Most patients report only slight pressure during the gum graft surgery. The area is numb and comfortable throughout the procedure.
4. Grafting Procedure
   We gently place the graft over the exposed root surfaces. The graft is then secured with fine sutures to keep it in place. Over time your body will naturally integrate the tissue creating healthy new gum tissue.
5. Recovery and Aftercare
   After the procedure, we’ll give you instructions for home care. This may include using a special mouthwash, avoiding certain foods, and not brushing near the graft for a few days. We’ll also schedule a follow up to check on your healing.
