What is gum grafting?

Gum grafting is a dental procedure that addresses gum recession by transplanting tissue to the affected area. This treatment not only restores gum health but also enhances the overall appearance of your smile.

Gum grafting prevents further gum recession and protects against sensitivity and decay.

Why You Might Need a Gum Graft

Gum recession isn’t just a cosmetic issue—it can lead to:

Tooth Sensitivity – Exposed roots make hot, cold, and sweet foods painful.

Increased Risk of Decay – Unprotected roots are more prone to cavities.

Gum & Bone Loss – Advanced recession weakens gum support and jawbone stability.

Aging & Aesthetic Concerns – Receding gums can make teeth appear longer and unbalanced.
