What is Gum Graft Surgery?

Gum graft surgery is a dental procedure designed to restore and protect receding gums.

When the gum tissue pulls back from the teeth, it can expose the tooth roots, leading to increased sensitivity, a higher risk of decay, and aesthetic concerns.

Gum graft surgery involves taking healthy tissue, typically from the roof of your mouth and attaching it to the affected areas to cover the exposed roots and strengthen your gums.

Why is Gum Graft Surgery Necessary?

Gum recession can result from various factors, including gum disease, aggressive brushing or even genetics. If left untreated, receding gums can lead to serious oral health issues, such as increased tooth sensitivity, cavities, and even tooth loss. Gum graft surgery helps to stop the progression of gum recession, protecting your teeth from further damage while improving both the health and appearance of your gums.

How Can Gum Graft Surgery Benefit You?

Gum graft surgery not only restores the health of your gums and teeth but also improves the overall appearance of your smile. By covering exposed roots, the procedure reduces tooth sensitivity and protects against decay, ensuring long-term stability of your teeth. Additionally, it helps to prevent future gum recession, preserving the strength of your gums and supporting better oral health.
