Gum Grafting & Recession Treatment in Vaughan
Rebuild receded gums to protect your teeth and restore a healthy smile.
When gums recede, the roots of your teeth become exposed — leading to sensitivity, a higher risk of decay, and an uneven smile. Gum grafting rebuilds that lost tissue. Dr. Mehdi Adibrad performs gum grafting as part of comprehensive periodontal care in Vaughan.

What causes gum recession?
Common causes include gum disease, aggressive brushing, genetics, grinding, and misaligned teeth. Recession exposes the tooth root, which can increase sensitivity and the risk of decay.
What happens during a gum graft?
Gum tissue (often from the roof of your mouth or a donor source) is placed over the receded area to rebuild the gumline. It's done with local anesthetic and the site heals over a few weeks.
How much does a gum graft cost?
Cost depends on how many teeth are treated and the grafting technique. We provide a written estimate after an exam, and we accept insurance and the CDCP where applicable. See our CDCP page or call (437) 900-2200.
Is the recovery difficult?
Most people return to normal activities quickly. You'll be given aftercare instructions and asked to avoid brushing the site directly and eating hard or hot foods for a short period.
