Gum Grafting
Gum grafting restores and protects areas affected by gum recession, covering exposed roots and creating a healthier, more balanced smile. This procedure reduces sensitivity, improves appearance, and strengthens the gumline to support long-term oral health.
What is Gum Grafting?
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that rebuilds gum tissue where it has receded. Tissue is carefully placed over exposed roots to restore coverage, protect teeth from sensitivity, and prevent further recession. The result is healthier gums and improved aesthetics.
Why It Matters
When gums recede, tooth roots are exposed, increasing sensitivity and risk of decay. Left untreated, gum recession can lead to further tissue and bone loss. Gum grafting corrects these issues, preserving your natural teeth and strengthening the foundation of your smile.
