Gum Grafting is a procedure that is commonly performed for patients who feel self-conscious about their gum lines being uneven or receding. Uneven gums or gum recession can be caused by a variety of factors, such as trauma, periodontal disease, birth defects, and/or age. When gums begin to recede, the tooth roots become exposed, which can cause the gums to look uneven and unattractive. A gum graft is a common oral procedure that can not only improve the aesthetic appearance of the gums, but also reduce the likelihood of issues related to uneven and/or receded gums from developing. At Lake Norman Oral & Facial Surgery, we offer a full range of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures, specializing in facial reconstruction, TMJ surgery, dental implants, facial cosmetic surgery, corrective jaw surgery, obstructive sleep apnea, and wisdom tooth removal.

Words cannot express enough, how wonderful, caring and professional Dr. Haigney and his staff are! After being rushed to the Huntersville hospital with an orbital fracture, broken nose and other facial damage, Dr. Haigney rushed me into surgery (on his day off I must add) and corrected all my problems. I only wish all doctors cared as much about their patients and their recovery as Dr. Haigney and his staff did. Thank you so much for everything! Your attention and compassion has helped me make my recovery as comfortable as possible. 5 star service!
