GUM IN TROUTMAN, NC

Residents of Troutman, a friendly Iredell County town between Statesville and Mooresville with steady residential growth, now have convenient access to expert gum grafting care at Lake Norman Oral & Facial Surgery in nearby Huntersville. Gum grafting is a periodontal procedure that restores gum tissue lost to recession, covering exposed tooth roots and protecting against further bone and tissue loss.

Receding gums can cause tooth sensitivity, root decay, and an uneven gum line that affects your smile. Grafting halts recession and rebuilds a healthy, protective gum margin. From Troutman, our Huntersville office is approximately 25 minutes away, making it easy to receive gum grafting treatment without a long commute.

Dr. Haigney uses connective tissue grafts and modern microsurgical techniques to achieve natural-looking results with minimal discomfort and predictable healing. Dr. Haigney is a dual board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons with more than 20 years of clinical experience, giving Troutman patients confidence in their care.

We encourage Troutman residents to take the next step toward improved oral health and confidence. Call our Huntersville office at (704) 987-3132 or use our online form to request your gum grafting consultation. We look forward to welcoming you.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Gum Grafting Questions & Answers

Have questions about gum grafting near Troutman, NC? Here are answers to the most common questions from patients in the Troutman area.

What is gum grafting and why is it needed? +
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that adds tissue to areas where gums have receded, exposing tooth roots. Receding gums can lead to tooth sensitivity, increased decay risk, and eventual tooth loss. Grafting restores the protective gum tissue, improves the appearance of your smile, and prevents further recession.
What are the types of gum grafts? +
The three main types are connective tissue grafts (tissue from under the palate), free gingival grafts (tissue directly from the palate surface), and pedicle grafts (tissue repositioned from adjacent gums). Donor tissue from a tissue bank (alloderm) is also available. Dr. Haigney will recommend the best approach based on your specific needs and the extent of recession.
How long does it take to recover from gum grafting? +
Initial healing takes about 1-2 weeks, during which you will eat soft foods and avoid brushing the treated area. The graft fully matures over 4-8 weeks. Most patients experience mild discomfort managed with over-the-counter pain medication. We provide a specialized mouthwash and detailed care instructions to support optimal healing.
Does insurance cover gum grafting? +
Gum grafting is often covered by dental insurance when it is considered medically necessary to treat gum disease or prevent tooth loss. Coverage varies by plan. Our financial coordinators will verify your benefits and provide a detailed cost estimate before treatment so there are no surprises.
