If you're troubled by receding gums or gum tissue loss, we're here to help. Gum grafting is a specialized technique that effectively addresses gum recession—a condition that not only impacts the appearance of your smile but also compromises the overall health of your teeth and gums.

What Is Gum Grafting?

During the procedure, we delicately harvest a small amount of tissue from a donor source, such as your palate or a tissue bank. This tissue is then precisely grafted onto the affected area, promoting the growth of healthy new gum tissue. By restoring the gum line and protecting exposed tooth roots, gum grafting can alleviate sensitivity, enhance your smile's appearance, and prevent further dental complications.

Common questions
