Gum graft in Valleyfield
Our Valleyfield clinic on Monseigneur-Langlois Boulevard assesses gum recession and performs gum grafts for patients from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Beauharnois, Saint-Timothée and Coteau-du-Lac, in a dedicated surgery room.
The first visit identifies the cause of the recession and tells you whether a graft is needed now, whether it can wait, or whether simpler measures are enough.
Why choose the Go Dentiste Valleyfield clinic for your gum graft
The Valleyfield clinic has a surgery room and the materials for both palatal grafts and donor-tissue grafts. Our dentists follow the healing at 10 to 14 days and at three months, and coordinate multiple-site cases with a periodontist.
How your gum graft works in Valleyfield
After the cause is corrected, the graft is done under local anesthesia in 45 to 90 minutes: harvesting or preparation of the donor material, placement over the root and sutures. You receive instructions, a prescription and a follow-up appointment.
| Duration | 45 to 90 minutes |
| Anesthesia | Local |
| Initial healing | 10 to 14 days; full maturation 3 to 6 months |
When to see us
- A tooth that looks longer than its neighbours because the root is exposed
- Sharp sensitivity to cold or to touch on the exposed root
- A notch worn into the root at the gumline
- Recession that has progressed between two check-ups

Frequently asked questions: gum graft in Valleyfield
Do you perform gum grafts at the Valleyfield clinic?
Yes, for single or limited sites. Extensive cases are coordinated with a periodontist, and the dentist tells you at the assessment which applies.
Can I choose donor tissue instead of my palate?
Often, yes. Donor materials avoid a second surgical site; the dentist recommends the option best suited to the recession.
How long before I can eat normally?
Soft foods for about a week, then a gradual return to normal chewing while avoiding the grafted side for two weeks.
