Maui Gum Grafting

Restore Gum Health and Protect Your Teeth

At Island Dental, we offer professional gum grafting to restore receding gums, protect your teeth, and improve your overall oral health. Our personalized treatments ensure a comfortable experience with long-lasting results tailored to your needs.

What is
Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting is a dental procedure used to repair and restore receding gums. This treatment involves taking healthy tissue, often from the roof of your mouth, and grafting it onto areas where the gum has receded. At Island Dental, we offer advanced techniques to help rejuvenate your gum line, protect the roots of your teeth, and enhance the appearance of your smile. Gum grafting not only restores your gums but also improves oral health by reducing sensitivity and preventing further gum recession.

When Should You
Consider Gum Grafting?

Gum grafting is a crucial solution for protecting your oral health and restoring the appearance of your smile. It is recommended if you experience:

  • Gum recession that exposes the roots of your teeth.
  • Increased tooth sensitivity to hot or cold.
  • A desire to improve the appearance of your gum line.
  • Risk of further gum erosion or damage.
  • Discomfort or pain due to receding gums.

What Does Gum Grafting
Involve at Island Dental?

Our gum grafting procedure is designed to restore your gum line and protect your teeth from further damage.

  • In-Office Whitening: A one-visit treatment with a bleaching agent and special lights for fast results, while protecting your gums.
  • Custom Home Whitening Kit: A custom tray and peroxide gel for gradual whitening at home over several days.
  • Whitening Toothpaste: A mild option that gently uses abrasives to remove surface stains over time.

Aftercare Tips for
a Smooth Recovery

To ensure proper healing and long-lasting results, follow these aftercare tips:

  • Soft Foods Only: Stick to a soft diet while your gums heal.
  • Maintain Oral Hygiene: Gently brush and floss to keep your gums clean.
  • Avoid Smoking: Smoking can interfere with the healing process.
  • Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups ensure your gums are healing properly.
  • Monitor for Discomfort: Contact us if you experience persistent pain or swelling.

Best Dentist on Maui

Highest regard to the level of service and skill at this practice. My dental hygienist was the most tactful and comprehensive I have experienced since leaving my holistic hygienist on Oahu. Finding this level of care here in Maui is such a comfort. Mahalo for making me feel comfortable and cared for.

I had 2 caps replaced today. I was able to get an appointment right away. I like Dr. Brooks. He was very good about letting me know what to expect during the procedure and kept me informed about what he was doing before he transitioned to each part of the procedure. It helped decrease any anxiety. His technician, Casey was so sweet and caring. All the way to the ladies running the front desk, I felt very comfortable and confident with my care. Thank you, Island Smiles Dental Care! 😁

My sisters referred me to Island Smiles Dental Care so I set up an initial appointment to try them out. I had to reschedule, but they were able to fit me into a last-minute appointment when I called again. The entire process of getting X-rays and the cleaning with Dr. Stanley went well. He was attentive to my concerns and dental history. I have to go back to get some work done, but I'm happy it was discovered when it was
