Connective Tissue Graft on Jane Street
Treatment focused on root coverage and gum health
At Jane Clair Dental, treatment begins with a close evaluation of the gums, recession depth, root exposure, and the overall health of the supporting tissues. If you are searching for a connective tissue graft near you, our North York dental clinic on Jane St can assess whether this is the right option to improve protection and appearance around the affected teeth.
During the procedure, the area is numbed, a small pouch or flap is prepared at the site of recession, and healthy connective tissue is taken from the palate and placed over the exposed root. The graft is then secured carefully so the tissue can heal and integrate with the surrounding gums.

Our team on Jane Street in North York focuses on treatment that improves comfort, coverage, and long-term gum stability.

When a Connective Tissue Graft May Be Recommended
A connective tissue graft may be recommended when gum recession is causing functional or cosmetic concerns.
- Exposed root surfaces
- Sensitivity that does not improve
- Uneven gumline around front teeth
- Thin gum tissue at risk of more recession
- Recession before restorative or orthodontic treatment
- Ongoing concern about smile appearance
This type of graft is often preferred when root coverage and a natural-looking result are both important.
Recovery After Connective Tissue Graft
Healing after a connective tissue graft in North York is usually manageable with the right aftercare. Patients are often advised to eat soft foods, avoid brushing or flossing the treated area for a period of time, use recommended rinses, and follow all post-operative instructions carefully. Initial recovery is usually most noticeable in the first one to two weeks, while fuller healing continues over several weeks.
