Rejuvenate your gum health and support your smile
With Our Periodontal Experts in Annandale, Virginia
Repair gum loss with gentle, expert care
Gum recession doesn’t just affect your smile — it can lead to exposed roots, sharp sensitivity, and a greater risk of long-term damage. If you’ve started noticing your teeth look longer or feel more tender near the gumline, grafting might be the next best step.
At Prestige Dental Specialists, we perform advanced gum grafting procedures using minimally invasive techniques designed for comfort and natural-looking results. Known for our high success rates and gentle approach, we aim to make the experience feel less like surgery and more like a fresh start for your oral health.

The Curious Corner
What symptoms suggest I need gum grafting?
Common signs include root sensitivity, visible gum recession, or teeth that appear longer than before. We’ll evaluate your gums thoroughly during your consultation to determine if grafting is right for you.
What type of grafting material do you use?
Depending on your needs, we may use donor tissue or a small sample from your own palate. We provide a personalized recommendation — whether autogenous (your own tissue) or donor — to ensure the best results for your smile.
How long does the procedure take?
Most gum grafting procedures in our Annandale practice are completed in under 90 minutes. The exact timing depends on how many teeth need care, but we’ll make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way.
Will I be awake during the procedure?
That depends on your preference. We offer a full range of sedation options — including oral sedation, laughing gas, and IV sedation — to create a calm, stress-free experience and ensure your complete comfort throughout the procedure.
How long until I can eat normally again?
Most patients transition to a soft-food diet within a few days and are back to eating normally in about 10 to 14 days. We’ll provide clear, personalized post-op instructions to support a smooth recovery and help you heal comfortably.
