Gum Surgery Graft

Gum recession ultimately results in exposed tooth roots. Gum surgery graft is designed to help repair damaged gum tissue. Gum surgery graft can also help prevent additional gingival recession and bone loss.

Gum surgery graft can be used to help cover exposed roots. They can also be used to help develop gum tissue. During a gum grafting surgery, our periodontist harvests gum tissue from patient’s palates in order to cover exposed tooth roots. Donor tissue or synthetic grafting materials may also be used for this particular procedure. Gum grafting can be completed on a single tooth or multiple teeth in order to help restore patient’s gum lines and reduce tooth sensitivity.
