Gingival Grafting in Valencia, CA
What is Gingival Grafting

What Is Gingival Grafting?

Gingival grafting, also called gum grafting, is a procedure to treat gum recession by covering exposed roots and strengthening the gum line. Healthy tissue is transplanted to the affected area, which promotes healing and prevents further gum loss. Gum grafting is a widely performed procedure, with an estimated 2.1 million procedures carried out annually in the United States.

The Benefits of Gingival Grafting

Improved Health

Covering the exposed roots protects them from decay and from the temperature sensitivity that makes eating and drinking uncomfortable for you day after day.

Enhanced Appearance

The procedure restores a balanced and healthy gum line, which evens out a smile that recession had left looking uneven and pulled the tissue out of line.

Long-Term Protection

Grafting reduces your risk of further recession and of the periodontal issues that follow when root surfaces stay exposed to bacteria and to daily wear.

Reduced Sensitivity

Exposed roots have no protective enamel, so restoring gum coverage brings real relief from hot and cold sensations that used to catch you off guard during meals.

Our Step-by-Step Process

Your grafting appointment follows a clear sequence from evaluation to recovery.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Initial Consultation

    Our experienced dentists evaluate your gums and discuss the best treatment plan for your recession and for the teeth that are affected.

  2. 02

    Comfortable Prep

    Local anesthesia is applied to the area so that your experience stays comfortable throughout and afterward as you begin healing.

  3. 03

    Tissue Grafting

    Healthy tissue is carefully placed and then secured over the exposed roots of the affected teeth where it will take and integrate.

  4. 04

    Site Protection

    The graft is protected while it takes, since those first days determine how well the tissue integrates into the tissue around it.

  5. 05

    Recovery Guidance

    Post-procedure care instructions are provided to ensure your healing goes as smoothly as possible over the following two weeks of healing.

Signs You May Need Gingival Grafting

Grafting might be necessary if you notice any of the following changes.

Increased Sensitivity

Hot, cold, or sweet foods trigger discomfort at the gumline where the root surface has become exposed to the mouth beyond it.

Receding Gums

You can visibly see your gums pulling away from your teeth, making those teeth look longer than before and changing your smile line.

Loose Teeth

One or more teeth feel loose or have started shifting, which suggests the supporting tissue is failing underneath them over time.

Visible Roots

The darker root surface shows at the base of a tooth, where the protective gum coverage has worn away and left the surface unprotected.

  • I had an emergency dental situation with a severely swollen wisdom tooth and unbearable pain, and I honestly can’t thank Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry enough for what they did for me. I had called multiple places, but no one could accommodate me the same day. Most clinics only offered a consultation, and even after X-rays, I was told I’d have to wait a few days to see a surgeon. Meanwhile, my pain was getting worse by the hour. From the moment I called Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry, the experience was completely different. The front desk team was incredibly caring and understanding. They gave me a same-day appointment, and when I called again a few hours before my appointment saying the pain had become unbearable, they immediately asked me to come in earlier without any hesitation. When I arrived, I met Dr. Peyman, who evaluated my condition and explained that the wisdom tooth needed to be extracted due to the swollen gum covering it. Although the surgeon was only available after a couple of days, seeing the level of pain I was in, he took the initiative to perform the extraction himself. He reassured me that we could stop anytime if the pain was too much, which gave me a lot of confidence to proceed. What stood out the most was his expertise and care — I didn’t feel any pain during the entire procedure. It was smooth, professional, and honestly a huge relief after what I had been going through. After the procedure, not only did I feel immediate relief, but Dr. Peyman also personally followed up with me the next day to check on my recovery. That level of care is rare and truly appreciated. If you’re ever in an emergency dental situation, this is the place to go. They don’t just treat you — they genuinely care about getting you out of pain as quickly as possible. Highly recommend.

  • I joined Valencia Aesthetic after a friend strongly recommended Dr. Fealy, so I was initially disappointed when I learned he was retiring. However, the new team — Drs. Rayan and Peyman Kafri and Dr. Pham — has exceeded my expectations. I really appreciate their thoughtful treatment plans and the level of information they provide, which has helped me make well-informed decisions about my dental care. The staff is consistently professional and courteous, and it’s especially convenient that Valencia Aesthetic offers endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery in addition to general dentistry. Recently, when I experienced an unexpected dental issue, the staff worked me into the schedule immediately, and the doctors adjusted their schedules to address the problem quickly, relieving my pain between two important work trips. I have rarely experienced such attentive care and service. Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry has earned my strongest recommendation!

  • We’ve all left the dentist perhaps in a little pain. I build up a lot of tarter and Kristin has been absolutely the best and gentlest I’ve ever been too! It’s like getting a massage for my teeth and gums. I’d give her 10 stars if I could

  • Dr Ryan the endo doctor did a fabulous job fixing a root canal that was botched up by my previous dentist. He was able to find the problem and clear up an infection (that I had in a root for 18 months). The previous dentist told me to wait and it would go away.

  • The best dentist I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so kind and friendly, from the very first person you encounter in the front office. I have some dental anxiety and the dentist and dental assistance explained all the steps of the procedure and checked in with me multiple times to make sure I was doing well. Excellent service all around.

  • I had an amazing experience at this dental office! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. The office was clean, modern, and very calming. Dr. Kafri was amazing, I give him 10/10. The nurse was also amazing but I don’t remember her name unfortunately. Taylor, she did my cleaning, was phenomenal. The dentist took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I was completely comfortable throughout the entire visit. The treatment was gentle, efficient, and truly exceeded my expectations. I left feeling well cared for and confident about my dental health. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled dentist!
